Video Station transcode that format and therefore the quality became really bad.Good evening
When we try watch the 4K HEVC/x265 video, they seem to buffer quite a bit. Running this on a DS920+, any fix or way to help the NAS process these videos? I do have Plex pass with transcoding enabled.
If not, do I just have to play 1080p videos?
Thanks for the help!
Do you have HW transcoding active? Also, if your are trasncoding 4K back to 4K, that will be task an a half. Best to stream 4K as native (if supported by the client side), or push that 4K down to 1080p (again trasncode) and watch it that way.Good evening

Cheers mate, I'll get a screenshot ASAP when I get home.Do you have HW transcoding active? Also, if your are trasncoding 4K back to 4K, that will be task an a half. Best to stream 4K as native (if supported by the client side), or push that 4K down to 1080p (again trasncode) and watch it that way.
Post a screen from the Plex server dashboard while this streaming is happening so we can see whats going on with video, audio or subtitles.

Ahhh, I can plug the Firestick into a 1G connection, let me give that a bash!

Feel like such an idiot![]()
Well, I am debating on adding more RAM to my NAS, just stuck on which RAM to add, don't want to pay Synology outrageous prices.You are not - I struggled with this for the better part of 6 months. I really do like the Firestick - works great with anything up to 1080p, just struggles with 4k. There are supposedly 3rd party 1 GBE usb nics that will work, but RAM then becomes your secondary hurdle.
Now you are transcoding. But it appears as Wi-Fi ??? as "56 Mbps" refers to what exactly?Here's me trying to play a 4K movie on my PC which is hard wired in at 1Gbps. Still buffers.
Indeed running on 1Gbp/s network, PC to switch to NAS. Resource monitor shows nothing being "maxed out", which is odd.Is the NAS running on a 1 GBE network? When playing back movies - check the DSM resource monitor. Do you see CPU or RAM maxed out?
3rd party RAM will work btw - DSM may complain about it, do your research.

Well RAM as the graph is showing is not a problem, as well as your volume and HDD. So I wouldn't say that would be a problem at all. Still, saying this, I have several Plex server that could be tested for this particular file, both with and without nvme cache with one gen older CPU (918).Would adding NVME cache and/or more RAM help at all? Or is this simply the limitations of this CPU?
How does PMS report those problematic streams inside the dashboard? What's happening with vide, audio and subs in that case? is PMS reporting hardware transcoding?I cant figure out whats causing the buffering issue with Synology
Yes it says hardware transcoding. I tried to get it direct play somehow it is not allowing. even tried to disable hardware acceleration option PMS.How does PMS report those problematic streams inside the dashboard?

So are you pushing 4K content with some transcoding back to 4K again or what? In that case almost no device will work smooth.Yes it says hardware transcoding. I tried to get it direct play somehow it is not allowing. even tried to disable hardware acceleration option PMS.
I am trying to get the Plex to play 4K directly. NVIDIA Shield should be able to handle 4K as it is.So are you pushing 4K content with some transcoding back to 4K again or what? In that case almost no device will work smooth.
