Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349-8f4248874 Player Version#: 9.29.1.3463 I have a PC turned into a Promox VE (Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB of RAM). I allocated four cores and 10GB of RAM to the Plex server (running Ubuntu). I was playing a blu ray rip (Original quality - 1080p, no compression), direct play on m…

[image] amak33: I just tried watching the same spot of the blu-ray where I got the error above and I got this new error: “Connection to the server is not fast enough”. So maybe it’s an internet issue? I just updated my original post as you posted, so in case you didn’t see it: I just tried w…

Took a look. Seems to be related to 4K streaming issues. I’m only streaming 1080p. I could try plugging my Android TV into my router instead of wifi, or figure out how to increase the max chunk size in Ubuntu?

If I may interject? When you see “connection not fast enough”, Is it transcoding ? Is the server able to keep up ? Is there bandwidth / throughput limiting (as happens with remote streaming a lot) Could it be something as simple as DirectPlay, where the stream bitrate exceeds the TV adapter …

Absolutely may interject :slight_smile: To answer your questions: No. It is direct play and says so according to the plex dashboard. Not sure how to test this? Good point and it’s what I think. I will have to try it with the TV plugged into internet instead of wifi (even though the wifi router is …

@amak33 Bandwidth testing - If you’ll forgive, I’ll walk through the whole process, writing as I go. Hopefully, I’ll communicate my thought process / testing methods so you can apply to your scenario and pinpoint the issue. Lan / device-device network speed testing. iperf3 You want one…

Bandwidth isn’t an issue with regards to the chunk size that my thread is referring to, though this thread does appear to be related to wifi connectivity (perhaps a signal interruption or just generally low quality? or if user is using a “powerline adapter” I’d wager noise or latency introduced by t…

Thank you for taking the time to write this up as you have. That’s a lot of effort. You’ve helped me understand this from a different perspective [image] RaptorTurkey: It’s a limitation on the size of chunks that plex sends the client when “no buffer” is calculated - to explain; when plex ma…

Oh jesus I didn’t actually expect a response! Thanks for the eloquent response and apologies for the abruptness, I’d been fairly fed up and apologise for taking out on you a little bit - I can however give a fairly simplistic method for reproducing this over from a lan test Download and launch c…

@RaptorTurkey Thank you. Now , to further the discussion, I’ve already chatted with the app devs. I’ll get a reply from the Apple team when they are awake. The reply from the Android team If you mean the Android team, then it’s a dynamic amount based on the free memory of the device and th…
