I’ve had Plex up and running for a week in recording content from an HDHomeRun Prime (3 tuners). Our use is exclusively as a DVR (no live channel watching). Most of the time three different shows are being recorded and commercials are being removed. However, when watching recorded shows, we’ve had streaming issues: buffering, random skipping and pixelation, audio track misalignment. etc. And, in actuality I’ve downloaded a given show’s TS file, opened it up locally on my machine and played it, and most of the same issues were present in the recorded content. Overall it’s a poor experience and my wife is wanting to give up in believing all the hype surrounding Plex. My initial thought is that we’re demanding too much of our Nvidia Shield server (see all hardware specs below). Should I turn off commercial removal since its adding additional stress to the Shield server? Anyone else having success with my hardware set-up for recording 3+ simultaneous channels while removing commercials? Any guidance on what I can do? Should I get different hardware for these use requirements? I’m open to any feedback. Much appreciated.
