My opinion on which on of these is most likely the problem: This is likely due to bandwidth limitations which is why videos using a lower bitrate or a highly compressed file type such as mp4 may be playing with less stutter than other videos.įurthermore another problem that you may be facing is that it is likely that devices such as your tv may not support hardware decoding of certain file types which may be forcing the pi to decode the video or may be forcing the client to decode the video sans hardware acceleration which is what may be causing the lag.

mp4 may have less issues while playing video than other video file types or from different places. Your problem maybe due to video bitrate, you may have noticed that video from certain places such as a certain website or file type such as. I'm connected by Ethernet, both pi and TV Also PiHole is installed but nothing pointing to it at the moment. RPI is running Raspbian Jessie, and installed apart from Plexmedia server, monit, deluge, couch potato and RPI-Monitor.

How can I detect what is happening that provokes this 'loading' issue? Can I do what I plan to do? (no transcoding remember) I think is perfectly possible With 1080p videos, it happens much more often.making it impossible to watch them, the thing is.sometimes! another times even the 1080 videos are played without issues. Ok, so the issue is that, with videos with not very high quality it works perfect, no issues at all, but with 720p sometimes at the beginning it stops and shows the loading symbol for some seconds and then continues. My Plex client and where I play the videos is a Samsung ue55h6400 To be specific the router is a D-LINK Archer C2. I followed the steps on this tutorial with the difference that the media (shows and movies) are not stored in USB disk connected to the RPI, the disk is connected to a router that shares it.

I bought my first Raspberry recently and I became addicted to it, I installed several things but mainly focused on making it become local Plex Media Server, by local I mean that it should not need to transcode anything.
