issue: the problem is that when i start to play a media on plexconnect, a media that is being transcoded, after a random time like 10 min or 20 or 30, the streaming stops on my atv and in order to resume it and i have to quit that streaming on my atv and reload it( resuming from last point) then it keeps going on for an other random time and then it happens again.
I checked my plex media server logs and it appears that the parameter speed when i start streaming a media that is being transcoded, is high like 3,4 then the time passes and the speeed slowly drops to 2 1 then it starts 0,9 0,8 0,7 then 0,0 and the streaming stops.
i tried a lot of things to fix this:
-reinstalled plexconnect
-i put my laptop ( i'm running plexconnect and pms on my fast i7 laptop and on wifi, it's a strong 2,4 signals) wired just to try
- i played with all the settings in PMS and in plex connect
I have no problems streaming the same files to all my apple devices with the plex app ( ios and ipad) and to my tv with chromecast.
I'm sure i need to give you more details, just it's so many things to tell i'm not sure what i should add.
an other important thing is that my cpu NEVER is on high load, when i start a streaming it loads at most 30%; apple tv is connected to my router with a cable too.
It seems like my cpu gets lazy and slowly stops working as long as the time passes and then i need to wake her up resuming the streaming when it pauses
any clue what it could be?
thanks in advance for any kind of help you might give me and happy new year too =)
