Why Does Plex Buffer So Much on Certain Devices, Looking for Some Advice?

Plex Media Server
1

Hi everyone,

I have been having a frustrating issue with Plex buffering on some devices. My setup includes a Plex server running on a PC and I stream to various devices like a smart TV and a tablet.

Lately, I have noticed that streaming quality drops and buffering occurs frequently on the smart TV, while the tablet seems fine.

I have tried adjusting the quality settings and restarting both the server and the devices, but the problem persists.

My internet speed is stable and fast enough. Is there something specific I should check or any settings I might be missing: ?? I have read this article https://support.plex.tv/articles/201575036-why-is-my-video-stream-buffering-cissp/ it helped me little but now I am looking for more advice.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated…! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks in advance! :pray:

Hi,
when playing your content that buffers and you check at the server for Trans coding, use the dashboard to confirm.
