BIG TIP: Follow the below post to fix PLEX Transcoder issues that you will run into with your DS720+. I am assisting a friend setup her plex server on a DS720+ dedicated as a PLEX server. we ran into an issue where MPEG4 videos would not play on devices that didn’t have native support for that format indicating a transcoder issue. It has took me quite a while to fix this issue since my server (DS918+) didnt have this issue. the videos would load indefinitely and never play. Turns out the driver being used in DSM for the intel HD graphics built into the processor is trash and doesn’t work right. the below post will walk you through forcing PLEX to use an older driver so hardware accelerated transcoding will work.
