From a Surface pro I read/write at 30-40MB/s The desktop I've always written from and am having slow transfers with is hard wired into the network.

like I said I chose that setup when I built my server because of subtitles. Never had an issue with it until now so I kept it that way. I did some file transfers today. Never got over 3MB/s. Something is slowing this thing way down. Do you see anything in the diagnostics?

Correct, my plex server is on a windows machine that's far more powerful than my unraid server. That decision was made because I have some files with PGS or VOBSUBS and transcoding was not optional back then. Now that plex supports those file types I'm open to switching but still don't have huge confidence in my unraid hardware supporting multiple streams, even without transcode. I had read that plex didn't do well with setups of this type but decided to try it anyway and have not had a problem until now. Hoping that this isn't the root cause.

I never use either and I'm good with leaving them permanently disabledkevflix-diagnostics-20240506-1736.zip

I'm very surface level on Unraid. How do I access the command line on the server? Also, I'd like to get those files in the appropriate place.

My Unraid server is pretty simple. All I use it for is Plex. In all of my Plex clients I'm hardwired and all transcoding is disabled. I used to be able to play any file without issue, I watched all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones in 4kReMux massive files with no issue. Now however, I cannot play any remux files without buffering every 5 seconds, and file reads and writes are unbearably slow (3MB/s). The transfers have been slow for months but it wasn't a massive inconvenience so I never addressed it, and I don't have a ton of remux files but the few I do have I now cannot play. I'm at my absolute wits end and desperately need help! kevflix-diagnostics-20240506-1546.zip
