Hello,
i have many laggy with my Raspberry 3, most of the time when i want foward or rewind during a movie, i will be waiting 10-15 secondes or more ! Very strange… Big lag…
Do you think it’s could be my TSRASPI10-16G sd card the problem?
The plex server is on my Synology Ds214+ and all is wired…
THank you !
I suspect the problem relates to your Synology NAS, this is a very low power NAS to run Plex Media Server, do you have the same problem using PlexWeb playing the same movie?
Regards
PlexWeb said my nas is not enough power for the trans-coding… I assume that the server just need to transfer the data, no? I don’t need the transcoding in my wired network… Sorry for my English i’m Belgian.
I had this morning my new raspberry pi 3 and went straight on to installing Rasplex. I read the comment from Ned the Nerd, about wifi, but Ned, i have maybe a solution for your problem, i use an extender that picks my wifi signal from it and despite the fact i have a networkcable attached to it, i wanted to see if this would work as bad as you told us, well, i turned the cable off and the distance between extender and Pi is about 20 cm, and it runs HD movies very smooth. This evening i’ll test some more, and soon i will take it to my girlfriends house and try to pick some movies from my home server and see if the wireless signal bridges the 3 to 5 meters gap!
So, i hope i do not have to come back and tell you are right, but it sure helps putting an extender closeby…
Hi everyone, i had just watched yesterday a 3.3gig 1080 5.1 stereo version of Interstellar… It did not hick-up or had any problems with displaying this size and kindof file in the way i installed it and made it work soley on a wireless connected Raspberri pi 3b.
So to Ned and all those who had problems viewing via the wireless, try to shorten the distance between your wireless accesspoint and your Pi! That should do the trick. Later on this week i’m gonna try to use the original Wireless router in my house as a source for viewing via Wireless R-Pi 3B… I’ll let you all know how that goes through two concrete walls, but i keep positive…
Good luck everyone testing my findings… Let us all know.
Thanks, 3.3Gb is not that big and I’m not surprised it’s working OK, try a 30Gb full BR rip.
Regards
@Ned, actually you are right about that, but who in earthsname would save files of 30Gb, sorry, it is far cheaper to buy the blu-ray. But i did test also the same movie on my router’s wireless, through two thick walls, and it had trouble playing that size, let alone say that a 6 gb size file also fails on my real close connection. So for all those audio and video freaks, put in a cable…
I did try to connect a Netgear wireless-N usb on the Pi, but it needed drivers, i have no idea how to feed him those drivers. If anyone knows, your answer is welcome…
