Hello,

&nbsp;

I think my ATV2 with PlexConnect and my iMac are &nbsp;little too far from my router... So, i've got a buffering problem and my videos paused every 5 minutes.

I see that is better but when i choose "transcode" in the settings of PlexConnect in my AppleTV 2 but it still paused often.

&nbsp;

Do you know how i can increase the cache between my iMac and my Apple TV 2 ?

&nbsp;

Is it a setting to edit on my AppleTV 2 or in my PMS ?

&nbsp;

For info, i've got the last version of PlexConnect and of PMS.

&nbsp;

Thanks in advance !

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

My settings in PMS\>Transcoder :

&nbsp;

**Transcoder Quality : Automatic**

&nbsp;

**Segmented Transcoder Timeout : 20**

&nbsp;

**Transcoder Default Duration : 120**

&nbsp;

**Transcoder Default Throttle Buffer : 60**

&nbsp;

PlexConnect hands off to the iOS native player so we don't have much control.

I would suggest you get a pair of $15-20 200AV powerline adaptors if it is a network issue (you can test this fairly easily by hardwiring the ATV next to your router).
