Hey I've been struggling with the FreeNAS plugin for Plex streaming within the house to a PC where bufferring occurs and Plex indicates the server is not powerful enough to transcode it.
First, I know there are older treads (circa 2014) so I believe it's time for a new thread.
Second, I'm on Win10 wired to a Verizon Fios cable modem with gigabit ethernet over cat5e to a gigabit switch 2 floors below where my FreeNas is wired to that on cat5e and it has a gigabit ethernet (Intel NIC) and the switch is gigabit speed.
Third, I see that the Plex plugin is always behind in features that you can find for this on Plex's board. The mistmatch in our latest Plex plugin is that on web, you can set local, remote, and online quality to a max of 20mb/s each but on the server setup you cannot set this. It's only transcoder quality not specifically a throughput speed. Additionally, on server setting we can say hurt my CPU, etc.
Also, somewhat off topic is that in no way can I get my Plex plugin to use DTS or Dolby Digital audio when streaming from NAS to PC. But if I copy the media to the PC desktop and use VLC, I can get DTS and Dolby Digital.
