So I am having an issue with Plex buffering on my Unraid server. Seems to be at all qualities, transcoded or direct play. It is to the point you can’t watch anything. I haven’t had to troubleshoot Plex much so I need some help. Posting here because it is a mix of plex, Unraid and all the jazz.

Unraid Specs Dell R520 E xx70 v2 CPUs (20 cores) 96 GB Ram Nvidia 1650 GPU for transcoding 750 gig cache 7 disk array of various size hdds

Streaming Stick Fire tv 4K “stick” On 5GHz Wi-Fi two rooms away. Access point is a TP link disk style something or another.

Current stream is below however I have seen it on multiple episodes, movies doesn’t matter much Container MKV Format H264 Audio EAC 5.1 Player ExoPlayer

I have played around with settings on plex and nothing seems to change. I can upscale downscale or direct play and all produce the same issues. It is driving me up a wall so all information is appreciated. Ask me for any settings or pics and I will get them ASAP!

So I am having issues with plex buffering and I am troubleshooting some things and I came across my docker img file and it is 215 gigs! I think that is way more than normal. Can anyone point out any issues that I have below that would either cuase buffering issues or why things are saving to my docker image?

I would like to save things to my cache drive as much as possible due to it being an ssd and not a hdd part of the array.

As always any info is apprecitated!

I use it on my prodmox server. Currently I think I have 5 VMs on it. Currently pihole, docker and three in a k3s cluster.

Like most people I feel like my Lab got started from what should have been E waste and the previous owner had already determined that. Overall I continue to like my Unraid server because I keep adding disks and recently got a parity drive set up and It is shaping up nicely. Currently working on setting up a picture backup service for my family’s apple devices.
