Plex direct play stuck on loading/ buffering

[denver2020]

Server Version#:OMV 4.1.17-1 Arrakis (on RockPro64)
Player Version#:Version 1.12.1.4885

I am using Plex media server (Version 1.12.1.4885) on OMV 4.1.17-1 Arrakis (on RockPro64) connected via ethernet (500Mbps connection)/ HDD plugged in via SATA. The setup was built recently and worked flawlessly for a week.

Since today every movie i tried playing off plex be it on my Samsung Smart Tv / via the mobile app / streaming to Chromecast nothing seems to work. Playing the movies on my windows computer via VLC /win media player have no issues.

The movie starts playing and after couple of minutes gets stuck with the loading/busy sign and does not resume… Tried uninstalling / reinstalling the plex plugin , and setting up all database / libraries fresh and analyising etc and still facing the same issue.

how should i resolve this , ive tried all the formats available in my library and all are having the same issue , checked the plex dashboard to see if the movies are being transcoded but its confirmed that they are being direct played.

Spent the whole day figuring out if there is a solution ?

Need some help pls…

Since this is direct playing I’m going to go with “its probably network related”, I see the client is chromecast, what about others? In particular none-wireless

hi mikec_pt

I eventually did a clean install of OMV and redid the whole nas setup, and so far have no issues.

thank for your response…

cheers
