Looking for help in how to diagnose this issue.

 

New to Unraid. Running into an issue with my one family member who remote streams from my Plex. They say randomly Plex playback will freeze on their device multiple times per day, and in order to get it to begin playing again they have to back out of playback to the menu and then resume playback. When I check the Plex dashboard it shows playback continuing even though they say it's frozen. This doesn't happen for anyone on our local network. And this was not an issue previously when I was running VMware ESXi -> Ubuntu Server -> Plex. At that time though, I was not running any *arrs or Deluge.

 

This issue has been present on a fresh default install of Unraid and all of the dockers. I've factory reset the streaming device that my family member is using remotely.

 

In the last few days I shutdown all of the *arr dockers and Deluge, and my family member has said that it has not frozen in the past few days. So either it was a fluke that it hasn't frozen in awhile, or one of the *arrs or Deluge is causing issues. I'm at a loss as to how one of the *arrs or Deluge are causing this though.

 

As far as any of the *arr services are concerned I don't believe they are particularly heavy on CPU or network usage?

 

I've had a suspicion that it's been Deluge causing the issue so I've been adjusting settings for the past few weeks. I don't get why though or how to fix it while still being able to utilize Deluge well. I have gigabit download, I can't see how downloads would affect remote stream uploads. I've tried limiting Deluge to 10 MB/s (100mbps) download. I've tried turning off uploads completely. Tried limiting active uploads and downloads to 3. None of that has fixed it. Currently I'm limiting connections to 50 from the default of 200 to see if that does something.

 

Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree, anybody have any suggestions? Is my hardware not powerful enough? I know it's old, but a 4790k is still a beast.
