Playback keeps buffering with latest server update

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2843
Player Version#: 8.0.2.17816 (23329cc1)

Since the last two server updates i keep getting buffering issues with the playback video.
This is the same on Android app and iOS apps.
The playback is always DirectPlay ( videos bitrate below 5 Mbps ) but from the Plex Dash app i can see that the bandwidth doesn’t go over 2Mbps.

I don’t have any limitation on bandwidth and it was working perfectly fine before those updates and i have/had the setting to maximum on remote streaming both on server and apps.

I already try a couple of different settings (enabling transcoding, disable transcoding, disabling IPv6, disabling disabling relay) , and always the same result.

Please recreate the problem then
Settings - Server - Troubleshooting - Download Logs

Attach the ZIP file it gives you.

The log file snippet you provided is inadequate.

New set of logs provided as requested.

Just to also point out, i have the same issue with both a mkv (3Mbps bitrate )file and avi (1,5 Mbps bitrate ) files, in case this makes any difference.

Let me know if this logs are ok and you need anything else.
Thanks,

Please confirm these are the right logs?

Western Digital MyCloud?

If so,

  1. you’ve mislabeled it and are in the Synology section
  2. However, I see some odd behavior

Your logs are showing as a PUBLIC IP?
Shouldn’t your TV and WD be on the same LAN network?

I have the same problem

@ChuckPa

  1. you are right. sorry. i think i label it correctly now. please correct if it’s still wrong.
  2. no. i am accessing the server from a remote location.
    Is there a problem with that? On the remote access i have green " Fully accessible outside your network"

just updated with the server to newest version 1.19.3.2852 and still the same issue.
any updates/ideas?

Just updated both iOS apps and android and still the same issue.

Still don’t get why the server is cutting the bandwidth below the supposed requested from remote. Always like that depending if the video is SD, 720p 1080p.
