Hello,
I am having some issues streaming Videos from my centralized Plex server. The video starts fine but after a while it stops caching video and hence the video stops(stuck at buffering) playing. I am monitoring it using Shift + Ctrl + O key where it shows the Cache (forward on the top left. My specs of Nvidia Shield and network is as follows
- 3GB Memory/RAM on Nvidia Shield
- 1Gbps Downlink
- 500Mbps uplink
- Gigabit Ethernet switch with Cat6 cable
- Videos I am trying to play are about 15-20 GB
- Plex server is running on AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, 32GB DDR3 and GTX 1070 gprahics card.
I have been checking my memory usage and I have about 1.4GB of free memory space all the time. So I am caching about 500mb of data upfront. Now the interesting part is once the movie stops caching and stuck, it never restart to buffer until I rewind/forward the movie... once I rewind/forward, it automatically starts caching again and within no time it fills up 500mb cache... It happens atleast 3-4 times during a movie.
My advance settings looks as follows
<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>524288000</memorysize>
<readfactor>10</readfactor>
<curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout>
<curllowspeedtime>10</curllowspeedtime>
</cache>
<splash>false</splash>
</advancedsettings>
Any help would be really appreciated to fix this caching issue.
