You expected anything less ?
I’ve been pulling my hair out for weeks!
OMG.. That is terrible.
When all else fails, do what everyone else does.
@CHUCKPA HELP!
I help where and when I can. There are limits but most things Linux I got down pretty well.
I’m watching the movie right now on my phone in the Plex app, not on the same network. It stutters everynow and then.

Without a PlexPass, you won’t be able to have the hardware assist with transcoding so the CPU is picking up the full load.
The HDDs in the server are WD Red 5200rpm I think. Would a faster HDD help?
No, you don’t need faster drives for media.
If you do the math, 5400 RPM drives can still deliver 180+ MB/sec of media.
That translates to > 1800 Mbits/sec of streaming.
what you would probably want to be careful about is how it shuts down .
Abrupt KILL of PMS can corrupt the DB.
Power Failures (or pulling the plug) will do the same thing.
This is the biggest issue with any database app like Plex.
Ok. I’ll definatly need to add capacity. I only have 4TB of usable storage. 2TB parity. And a ton of old DVDs.
IF you ever need build advice

I always try to shut down the server properly. Perhaps a quality UPS would be a good investment.
absolutely. Something to shut it down when battery power is low is smart.
I have a 1500 W UPS for mine.
Protects the database as well as your media
Well, thank you again. This is a huge relief. I’m gonna go find some dinner now. Thank you.
