Just got a RasPi 3 model B. running current version on RasPlex
PMS v1.0.3.2461 is setup on a dedicated server on a separate network with a 1GB connection.
At home I normally use My XboxOne for plex and over the last 90 days according to plexpy have not Transcoded a single time. My internet at home is 100MBps.
I Plugged Set up RasPlex at home have absolutely no problems at all.
Brought it over to my friends house who has 10-12MBps internet, he has been having buffering issues on his Xbox360. Set up RasPlex for him and Had immediate issues... Files started Direct Playing, worked great...
Apparently after I left he kept getting a "Playback Failed" message and if/when he was getting the files to play, it would randomly pause/freeze every few minutes for a couple of seconds..
He didn't tell me until later that night, so I assumed I had too many other users transcoding at the time which was causing too much strain on my servers CPU which was causing his playback issues...
The next day I Took the RasPlex over to different friends house who was getting 15-17MBps. After setting up, the first file we played every couple minutes it would pause/freeze for a few seconds. I went to check my servers CPU to see if that was the issue, it was running at 2%... he was the only one online. Started trying other files and started getting "Playback Failed" messages...
So.... with that all said to me it appears to be a download speed problem on the device end.. As i had 0 problems at home and they did, But it doesn't make since to me because it played fine at 10-12MBps while I was at my first friends house, had issues at the second friends house who had a bit faster connection and have other users that only get 5-15MBps using a other devices Roku 3 and don't ever have issues like these...
Any Ideas?
