- "Playback Error. This server is not powerful enough to convert video."
- Seriously? I was watching this very episode yesterday and many others from the same season without problem, in the same browser.
I have just got into Plex and am using the current official Freenas plugin with Plex Version 4.34.4, no plexpass, just within my LAN and in the browser. 11.3-U1, Intel i3-6100 and 16 GB RAM. After install I put as much as I could to maximum and it worked great for a few days, but today I am running into the above problem.
I don't understand why Plex suddenly wants to transcode? I am using the recommended "home streaming" setting where the media is just transferred to the client as is if it is playable by the client. It's an oldish xvid/avi 352p resolution so it really isn't heavy or anything. I saw somewhere this this combo can be problematic.... but I was watching it yesterday!?!?
I also have other episodes from other series that are half-played, where Plex asks me whether to start from the beginning or resume playback where I left of (super-proof that Plex has played this file before) but whichever I select Plex complains that the server is not powerful enough to convert the video.
What might be going on here?
Quality I have tried both to set and unset the "automatically adjust quality" setting.
"Transcoder quality" is set to Automatic.
