wireless clients are more than likely your problem. You can play with the client side buffering to get it to not stutter, but that is depending on what wireless you are using, 2.4 Ghz or 5Ghz. 2.4 will not keep up without proper buffering on the client side as where 5Ghz can if you are close enough to pick up the 5Ghz signal. VC-1 is high bitrate which requires high bandwidth so wireless is not that great of an option.

At the same time, with Plex I can serve UHD remuxed files where my server is on WiFi (N band) and the client is wired to the router without any issue. These files can hit 25+ gb an hour. Straight direct play. It’s not ideal, but it can work. In this example my server is a Mac mini, and the client is Xplay (3rd party Plex client) on an LG TV.

right with the right wireless bandwidth it can be done, N and AC can handle it.

Yeah, it's time to troubleshoot your network, or replace your wireless access point (Ubiquiti Unifi gear is cheap, good, and easy). Try plugging an ethernet cable directly into your router and laptop/PC/whatever, and test. If everything is fine, replace WiFi. Also, please try going to the Plex IP directly, e.g., https://192.168.2.6:32400 just to ensure you're staying on the local network and not getting routed out and back to the internet. If that seems to have nothing to do with it, you might just be running up against the limits of your CPU. That Celeron has a PassMark score of 1200. Plex recommends 2000 for a single 1080p on-the-fly transcode. The solution in that case is to run Plex on a different, faster machine while pointing Plex at a shared folder for its media on the Synology. You can definitely transcode to h.264 with that script, but don't. A) It will take hours per item (transcoding is very, very CPU intensive, see my previous point) and B) It will make things look slightly shittier, as you're going from already lossy compressed to lossy compressed a second time. Think photocopy of a photocopy. insularis fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 9, 2018 |

Ok, i will follow all of this advice. Thank you again and thank you to the other posters helping me too! Edit: quick wireless question, the rep at my ISP said that the speeds of my local wireless connection in between machines (such as between the NAS and my computers/cellphone) was limited by the actual download speed my ISP gives me, is that true? Cause i feel like i see speeds between computers go much faster sometimes than my actual download limit. Dongattack fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 9, 2018 |

Has anyone figured out a way to use lists in Radarr to download bunches of older movies by category? Say I wanted to get 100 action movies that were most popular in the 1990s....is this possible? I figured out how to use Trakt lists to get recent films, but can't figure out a configuration that gets older movies. Also finally setup NZBHydra and it was totally worth it just for the indexer stats

Just find one for top 100 action movies of the 1990s or something.

I occasionally have a weird error I haven’t been able to track down. Some shows will start to play fine, but then pause suddenly. I can skip past the bad part of the file but sometimes it’s a 10 minute hole, sometimes 10 seconds. I’m using Sonarr / Sabnzbd. Is this something wrong with my setup? Anyone seen this before? I figured if a file was corrupt Sabnzbd would mark it as failed.

Whenever I have had that happen, it's usually the file itself. A lovely release, that is fixed by a proper release shortly after. Checking with something like MPC-HD or another player that can handle all kinds of files without external codecs confirms it. If it happens randomly on the same file, then yeah it might be an issue with your storage or the player.

Two downloads failed last night so I looked closer in SAB. Both seem to have downloaded properly, but when I click for details they both say "No par2 sets" in the repair section and had missing articles. What's odd to me is shouldn't the extracting of the file fail if it's corrupt? One thing I've been thinking is that my connection is very fast here, so maybe I should delay before downloading? I've tried adding a 10 minute delay in Sonarr to see.

Modern clients don't even try extracting if they don't completely download all the parts and don't have enough PARs to repair. Hell, most will even stop downloading when it becomes clear that there's no recovery.

Dongattack posted:I'm running Plex on a Synology NAS DS218+. I'm not sure what you mean by client setup. The client(s) are wireless. I'm also not sure what you mean by local or remote, the NAS is in the same building as me connected wired to the router. The CPU on your NAS is also somewhat weak. It's a dual core Celeron @2.0GHz. On a 1080p stream you might be hitting a CPU bottleneck as well as a limitation with your Wi-Fi. You'll actually have to fully transcode VC1 files to h264 if you don't want your server to transcode on the fly. For one of the problem files you can let plex fully transcode one and see if it plays better. That being said, Plex can be finicky with files. My NAS server is a Ryzen 7 1700 and the client is an Nvidia Shield and I can still get odd stuttering at times even though my server can handle 6 1080p streams at a time.

It looks like it received the missing articles from my block account and extracted the file, however the extracted file was somewhat corrupt. The file I was downloading looks like it had a DMCA style takedown, so maybe it happened while I was downloading it? I'm still confused as to how SAB was able to extract it if it was corrupt though. I'm on the latest release.

Weird, Radarr seems to have sent the same film to NZBGet twice today (within seconds it seems) for reasons I don't understand as it was the exact same version. Then NZBGet didn't flag the 2nd one as a dupe for some reason. So 45gb spent downloading one film. Which I didn't even want because it was picked up from Trakt's list. Nothing quite like sailing close to the cap at the end of the month.

I run block accounts from usenet.farm and average around $2/month (when it's all said and done). It depends on a bunch of things, like how much do you download in a month? Finding block specials is pretty good overall I've found. I also use a few backup block providers that every few years I'll throw a few dollars at. YMMV.

For cheap unlimited you probably can't beat $3.99 a month or $40 a year from NewsgroupDirect. I believe you also get free VPN service if you send support a message about it.
