Hi,
I am trying to build a new fileserver and I'm new to FreeNAS. I first tried installing on a Xeon x3440 with 8GB ram and tried plex plugin, but when I tried to stream anything I would get the generic message: "Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video. Check your Network or try lower quality." This was the same machine I had windows running plex and playing the same videos without issue for years. I did some research and found that much higher specs are called for with freeNAS and my RAM was about maxed out anyways, so I grabbed some better hardware to try. Now, I have a E3-1240v2 and 32GB ram and fresh install. Everything is great and resources are plentiful... The only problem is I have the exact same results... Plex will play the video no problem for 3-5 seconds and then freezes "Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video". This is all on wired gigabit network! :( I verified Plex Jail IP is not in use and mac address also, so no networking conflicts I can find...
Anyone have any ideas what I could be missing here?
Is there some kind of issues I am facing with plex and jail network interface somehow?
