Is it perhaps the CPU clock speed difference that is causing the buffering? Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!Īiming to mostly replicate the build from (with some mods, hopefully around about as good as that link) Including over the Internet to various endpoints which required transcoding. This thing never struggled with playing movies at 1080p with DTS audio, etc. The old system was a desktop Frankenstein system built from an OptiPlex 9020 with an Intel Core i5 3.4GHz (quad core, no hyperthreading), 16GB RAM. This is some serious hardware, so I'm confused as to why Plex can't keep up over the local network.

I'm no stranger to running Plex in a FreeNAS jail, but for whatever reason my new server is buffering A LOT! I setup this new server from scratch as it is drastically different hardware and I migrated from one server to the other and cleanly setup the shares and also Plex. The good news is that I've noticed these settings persist across browsers so they only have to do it once, but the setting didn't persist on the desktop app or the TV apps so it might still be helpful to tell them to do it for every new player. I wish you could disable transcoding on a per user basis or prioritize Direct Play for media on your server, but for now we have this lol. Plus, I want to conserve the CPU usage for the low power Roku and users with low bandwidth cap that can't direct play. And I don't wanna completely disable transcoding since HEVC/x265 can't Direct Play in Chrome and not everyone would be willing to use the Desktop App. I put this together because disabling transcoding outright throws up an error for remote users if they don't change the quality settings. Please go to the relevant subreddits and support forums, for example:įinal Edit: These 4 versions should cover everythingĪs much as possible I try to avoid transcoding and get everyone to Direct Play.
