PMS is “Fully accessible outside your network” and connections have the green lock, but I am getting capped at averages of 1 mbps - it’s performing more like I’m going through Plex Relay w/o Plex Pass. Files will play fine if transcoded down below 1 mbps. The limit is not dependent on client, network
speeds are testing at 50 mbps up with client speeds at 100 mbps down.
I have tried changing ports for forwarding (including 443) and it happens across all clients.
Yes, playback stops and buffers every few seconds. The bitrate of the file makes no impact on the apparent bitrate cap, it stays at 1 mbps regardless. As I said, smooth playback is only possible when transcoding under 1 mbps. The only exception is when a new file starts playback and there is a brief spike to ~10mbps.
Now with a screenshot showing a higher bitrate file:
I changed them both to the highest non-original/maximum and then back, neither made a difference in the cap. It is very much behaving as if these connections are through the relay, streams are each limited to 1 mbps (although with the Plex Pass it should be 2 mbps)
