Plex is not loading some shows on my computer, but will load them from the app on my TV, why?

If I go to my TV and use the Plex app, the same shows will play almost instantly. PC, Plex Server, TV, are all on the same network. I asked a friend to try out one of the shows I was having issues with, and he can access it remotely on his PC.

Any ideas?

The concern here is the per-thread speed.
It’s a 2011 CPU.

Am I correct – “Loading” = “Play” ?

Yes, loading = play in my terminology.

My issue is that it plays on other platforms, and even remotely without issue. Why can I not use my browser to stream?

I used to be able to play without any issues on my PC (browser), and I want to say in the last 3 days it has become an issue. Days are blurring together as transferring took such a long time. Why is it an issue now? Is my server to big?

Your logs are showing me that it’s still scanning / indexing the media and adding it to the database + getting metadata.

Do your scheduled tasks run at 19:00:00 (7pm) hours or is this media being added?
