Transcoded video skipping every few seconds is a Plex driver issue with the Intel Celeron J4xxx CPUs. The interim workaround is to edit Plex’s preferences.xml file so that Plex uses VaapiDriver=“i965”.

ChuckPa posted the interim solution here:

Specifically for the Asustor Nimbustor:

  1. Go to \\NIMBUSTOR\Plex\Library\Plex Media Server
  2. IMPORTANT: Backup Preferences.xml to somwhere safe.
  3. Open Preferences.xml in a text editor like Notepad++. (which won’t change the line endings).
  4. Scroll to end of the 2nd line.
  5. Replace /> with a space and then VaapiDriver="i965" />
  6. Check there is a space before and after VaapiDriver="i965"
  7. Save file.
  8. Not sure if needed but I’d then restart Plex Media Server.
