The connection is not strong enough to play this video

I don’t have your files so I cannot say anything for sure, but if a file requires a high bitrate to play and if your network was saturated with whatever you turned off then yes it can cause problems like you were seeing

LMFAO, I propose a pay raise for BigWheel.

You mean if I also was seeding a movie.

But was it yes to the whole message?

We cannot know without knowing the exact message and what else you were downloading/seeding when those movies didn’t work before. But most likely that is the issue.

I downloaded movies and the message said that connections to the server are not fast enough to stream that movie. check your network or select a lower playback quality.

You’re asking for a definitive answer to something we cannot give. We are not at your house. We do not have your files. We have no idea what downloading/seeding program you use

If you turned off downloading/seeding then and things started working after that, then that is likely the problem. I don’t understand what is confusing about that answer to you.

There is nothing confusing. But at a time when plex was on the big screen, so I could see what kind of movies I have, I got the message. But must be because the PC or the network did not have enough resources right there to both show the film and have plex open, so I could see what some films have.

Oooohhhh no, now I got protected again where it told me that the connection to the server is not fast enough to stream the movie without my computer doing something in the background? Why do I get that message ■■■■■■■ all the time? I can 't handle it anymore.

Maybe it was because there were a lot of programs open on the computer, also there were not enough resources.

Could be those other apps were keeping your device / network busy

It could be. Then it just did it sometimes and other times not. Now I have at least closed as many apps as I can. It could also be that it did not have enough resources

Now it takes a hell of a long time again for the movie to move on when I jump to the next chapter. And sometimes it does not. What the hell is going on? Is it because it just needs to get started in the first place? It also stops. No, honestly, do I really need a dedicated Plex server? I do not have enough cpu?

This is my CPU:

Is it because Plex is just getting started?

Like I said before, your streams are probably trying to transcode and the computer isn’t strong enough to do that. Try setting local and remote quality to original in the Plex app and report back the results.

It could also be that it’s just because I had to move some apps that were open so that they were not open anymore. Move them to the sidebar.

No, you are right. How do I do that?

Now it said damn again that the connection to the server is not fast enough to stream that movie. What the ■■■■ is going on? What should I do? How do I set it up locally and make it original like you said? I do not have a ■■■■ sense of this. Help me. I’m completely lost.

What client are you using to play your media? eg: Roku, Android…
