Hi all,
I have PMS running on raspbian on a raspberry pi 2 and things almost work exactly as I want. I have a couple higher bitrate videos that seem to choke my raspberry pi 2 but I am not sure why. The highest bitrate file I have is 3Mb per second. I am using the 10/100 wired port that goes to a wireless n router. Every time I watch one of these higher bit rate movie my Amazon Fire stick says that my connection is too slow or that the server isn't powerful enough to transcode. Why is it even trying to transcode? Why is 100Mb to wireless n not enough for measly 3Mb?
I recently found kodi and set that up on my fire stick. I connected that to my raspberry pi using samba and those same files that choke plex work great. I like kodi but plex does have some features I like if it would run well.
Can anyone help me figure out why plex chokes on these files? They are x264 just like all my others. Only difference is the bitrate.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
