My go file PLEX lines:

 

#Limit PLEX Transcode RAM Drive Size
mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch
chmod -R 777 /tmp/PlexRamScratch
mount -t tmpfs -o size=32g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch

I do not have any extra parameters.  I am however using the Intel IGPU not Nvidia.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the writeup, what about adding in a script to check every 24h for files older than 24h and delete them? I just checked my ram transcoding folder and indeed didn't clean up properly after the last transcode.

so i'm trying to move transcode to RAM to see if it works better like everyone says.  im using the below documentation to do the settings.

 

https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/plex.md

 

however, everytime i change and apply the settings the entire plex container disappears from the docker.  i have to change the settings back to my ssd for transcode for it to reappear and work again.  is there something i'm doing wrong or missing?  i have transcode settings in plex set to /transcode even after i change the container settings.

 

any advice is appreciated.
