Sorry to tell you this but your NAS really is not capable of being a full Plex server, transcoding will be a problem.

plex on qnap TS859 pro

I have a TS 859 Pro and also a TS870 Qnap units… Plex plays anything and everything fine on the TS870 through my Samsung TVC which has Plex natively installed on the TV… If I change servers the the 859… the stored tv series start to play but shortly stops or pauses for 20-30 seconds then starts up again… looking at the Resource Monitor on the 859 the cpu goes right through the roof at 97%… I don’t recall it doing this years ago. Most of the time I play stuff from the 870 but had some older tv …
