Now the Plex Media Server service just stopped working on my Xpenology/DSM VM... and it does not want to start again. I think I'm gonna run a Cent OS VM dedicated to Plex and lower the CPU ressources of the Xpenology/DSM VM.

I don't really understand how can I optimize the Plex Media Server for the Chromecast... Should I re-encode every file I have to H.264 ?

In fact, I have noticed that the N54L CPU is at 99% of usage while transcoding 1080p content. That's why I wanted to add a core to the VM. Thank you for the advise, I'll check the forum now.

Ok, here is the result: NAS> cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 6 model name : AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N54L Dual-Core Processor stepping : 3 microcode : 0x10000c8 cpu MHz : 2196.342 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nopl tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc pni cx16 popcnt hypervisor lahf_lm extapic abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw bogomips : 4392.68 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 6 model name : AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N54L Dual-Core Processor stepping : 3 microcode : 0x10000c8 cpu MHz : 2196.342 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nopl tsc_reliable nonstop_tsc pni cx16 popcnt hypervisor lahf_lm extapic abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw bogomips : 4392.68 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: It seems that it has detected the second core but how can I make sure?

Nothing here neither....

Here is what I see:

Thanks for your answer. Ok but I only see one CPU entry in my GUI

Hi, I have set up an HP N54L Microserver with VMware ESXi and installed Xpenology following this guide: http://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/how-to-in ... gy-on-esxi During the installation process, I allocated only one core to the VM thinking that it will not need more. Then, I installed Plex Media Server to transcode videos in order to stream to my chromecast. After that, I powered off the VM and allocated it one more core but it seems that Xpenology does not see it. Does Xpenology support multicore CPU? How can I check in the DSM web interface? Thank you.
