How to Optimize for Streaming for Plex Media Server
Raw
Optimize for Streaming
Plex Media Server pulls the Optimized for Streaming setting from the MOOV atom of the MP4/MOV itself. There are two good options for optimizing your media:
1) Use a program built to move the MOOV atom. I like qtfaststart: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/qtfaststart
2) Use ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -map 0 -c copy -movflags faststart "output.mp4"
