Video stopping every 20 seconds or so

Video stopping every 20 seconds or so.

Hi everyone… sorry if this is in the wrong place… please can an admin direct the post to the correct place.

I have been using Plex for years and years. Can’t say I have had many issues with it, it’s generally been plain sailing or it’s been an issue my end… anyways, I digress.

Around a month ago my videos started to lag, pause and generally not behave. I RDP to my Server 2012 R2 install and saw Plex Transcoder / Plex Media Service scoffing all of my processor. I know it’s not a great spec machine i3 1.8ghz with 6GB ram but it’s never been an issue before. It seemed to be file specific where some files would cause it others not. I initially assumed some of my files were corrupt from copying from location to location a thousand times (like 2 or 3) but I ruled that out by re-ripping the files direct from the disk. I have had 2gb MKVs and also 550mb. Both act the same.

I really need help with this, I have messed round with the transcoding settings but nothing seems to help.

Happy to provide any logs or information as I am now spending more time trying to fix Plex than it works.

Spec
Intel NUC
Windows Server 2012 R2 (this is a DC)
Intel i3 1.8ghz (Dual core)
6GB Ram
