Speeding up centos VM

Since this should be just doing direct play on my local network with passthrough DTS, I really don’t see how the server would be getting overloaded. None of the performance measures in ESXi show much change when Plex is skipping/pausing(/buffering??). It just feels like somethings not working correctly on the client player.

Looking through my logs, would the error “Unable to find client profile for device; platform=Kodi, platformVersion=17.6 Git:20171115-d69a54a, device=RaspberryPi, model=Unknown” have anything to do with choppy playback? I noticed alot of Roku folks were experiencing this. Some people saying it doesn’t affect playback, but others found workarounds, that seems to have helped them.

How exactly do you go about creating a client profile?? PMS no client profile for Kodi Add-on
