hi guys

 

i have an unraid 6 server with and athlon 2 x3 445 with 4th core activated. 8 gigs of ram.

the server is running plea, couch potato and transmission through docker.

 

what i notice is that when i'm playing some 1080p movies on my ps3 or my mac-through safari i get a lot of buffering.

 

is the cpu not up for the task?

 

thank you!

first, how can i tell if it's transcoding or direct streaming? the cpu usage is every thing between 50-98%

 

You can look at the Activity page, and then rollover what is being played, and select the " i "

If you have PlexWatch, you can get quite a bit more info:

second, i can't find the option of allowing ac3 play

hi again...

 

so i did what you suggested.

when playing over the ps3 the plea management says the it's direct play

and the ps3 keeps on buffering..

 

may i note that the network is a gigabit ethernet.

and that i don't get a much of buffering on my mac and laptop which are both over wifi.

 

who is this to blame?

weak cpu? (not sure about that)

ps3 not up for the task?

 

thank you all

Are you sure its gigabit all the way?  Dont have an errant 100Mb switch somehere? Bad cable maybe?

 

I have a PS3 somewhere. I will have to dig it out this week and have a look.

i'm pretty sure

the unraid says 1000mb/s, my router is tp-link 1043nd and ps3.

 

and even if i had 100mb/s ethernet it should work as my other wifi clients works good.

 

with little digging around i have found that the culprit might be the ps3 plex app itself so i canceled my pass and using the dlna option instead

 

thank you all for you support

 

keep up the good work you all doing
