Some background:
I've recently upgraded to the RC2 version of Scale on my home media server. For some reason, the upgrade broke the Apps system and it claimed that no Apps were running. After faffing around trying to fix it, I decided to do a clean install. I kept my pools during the install but nuked the ix-applications dataset. I saved the plex server data since I didn't feel like going through the whole media list (again).
The problem:
Plex has always worked fine with my nVidia shield TV box. Since moving (from unRAID) to SCALE, the streaming has been "choppy". Since moving to the RC2, streaming is almost unusable. The videos appear to be transcoded as if the system thinks i'm accessing the server from a remote LAN. I've added my local LAN to plex's settings so it considers 192.168.111.x as local.
I haven't checked, but I suspect that the traffic is going out and then into my router, using the internet traffic. Fibre internet isn't great here so that would limit the throughput to around 3M bits (i have 30M down and 8 up). This would certainly match what i'm seeing on the screen of the TV.
My questions are:
My hardware specs are in my footer - specifically the Media server. As you can see, it's not underpowered (before the update, I had it transcoding 4K down to 720p in realtime).
Thanks for any input!

My questions are:
- Is there a direction I should be heading in order to fix this?
- Is it possible to assign the plex server a local IP?
