Hello!
Im just wondering, is Plex on Synology ds411j supposed to be very slow on xbox one?
Ive got like a 1000 Movies on my Synology server.
And when Im browsing the covers on the Plex, its just very slow.
On my old Xbox 360 without Plex, normal folder browsing With the Synology is super fast.
Does the covers and meta data require alot of cpu Power?
Is something wrong?
Why is it so slow??
Thanks!!
Folder browsing should be fine unless maybe the NAS is really busy, or the network connection is poor, what does your DSM Resource Monitor show?
If you have playback issues it's because the Xbox isn't capable of direct streaming all formats sent from PMS on your NAS, so it's transcoding your media into a format the Xbox can accept, which is a CPU intensive task.
Unfortunately, Synology NAS units are currently shipped with relatively weak CPU's. When the Xbox and Plex app receive further software updates (read: better codec and subtitle support) this should become less of an issue.
