I have to PCs on the same privat network router , Windows 10 both and use Plex home theater for playback.
I dont understand why is that when i access my media on plex server from my laptop on the other room, plex is using over 20 Mbps to play my Blu-ray encodes ? Internet usage is just like when if I had played files remotely from another networks and naturally this has a huge impact on my download/upload speed otherwise. If i start to download/upload on high speed something else on the server machine the video will start to stutter and stop on my laptop so everything is linked. I have checked my network activity on the server taskbar and indeed plex is using my internet to play media to local machines, see below for screenshots.
I cant help but wonder what settings are wrong ? Does the server not recognize my local machine ?
I am on the latest plex versions and checked "Enable local network discovery (GDM)" on the pex server settings too. I will post the logs from my plex media server and screenshots of my network activity to show how my bandwidth is used. Also if i loose internet access local machines loose access to plex server.This takes the fun out of a otherwise excellent server. :/
