I've taken to running it in safe mode and not having anything else loaded to allow it to just service the NAS and Plex. The iMac was purchased early 2015 and has a 4Ghz Core i7 and 16GB memory. I've never been able to go above 576i but now these files won't even start. I have the Plex Pass and also use Apple TV (the one before the current 4k one). Even without this you can still run Plex server for home clients and authenticate with the web service (). Have you tried Plex server on the NAS?įor Internet access to your Plex server, you have to configure a port forwarding rule on your Internet router to allow the inbound connections. It could be that your Mac's network connectivity cannot keep up with in/out load plus and transcoding that happens. Then that would mean the Mac's Plex server is hauling the content, on demand, across your network and then streaming it out again across the network to the Plex client. My outbound Internet is no-way capable of supporting this but I can* stream ALAC audio using Plexamp (*if I wasn't so tight for paying mobile data).įrom what you say it would seem that you're mounting the NAS shared folders that hold the Plex library on the Mac.

I'm able to stream MKV of 1080p Blu-ray with Hi-res audio at 50-60Mbps, though this is an exception and most is 720p or 540p 5.1 or 2.0 audio. I'm running Plex (with Pass) on DS218+ and can access it fine within the home LAN/WLAN. Is Synology Drive the cloud solution? I hope it is not expensive. I tried Amazon Glacier some years ago, but after 5 months it had only backed up 5% of my files so I gave up using cloud storage. Synology advised me that the DS1515+ is no longer supported, but I am loath to invest in a new one if it will be obsolete after only a couple of years.

So really think a Mac Pro would be needed but cannot possibly afford that.

If I use a maximum resolution format such as 576i it cannot even start playing. Now I can’t play anything on the local network as Plex stutters badly playing files in mobile format, which is highly pixelated. I was hoping to use a cloud service to enable access to files to get around the fact that Plex only works on your own local network. Despite paying for a pass for years, it is pretty well known that remote access for most users is not possible. I use the Synology mainly to house Plex recordings. I am concerned as to whether the Mac Mini will be powerful enough.
