Plex Version 1.10.0.4516 (64 bit version, hardware acceleration enabled)
Synology NAS 216+ (INTEL Celeron N3050 dual core)
DSM 6.1.4-15217 Update 2
HD HomeRun Connect: Model: HDHR4-2US Firmware: 20170930
Basically if I use any client (iOS, AppleTV, Chrome Web App on Windows 10) the video playback from either live tv or recorded tv will play for a couple of minutes, stop and give the spinning yellow wheel, then start again.
Playback on the HD Homerun is fine using all other apps on all platforms, perfectly smooth playback. The HD HomeRun is on a wired connection for most devices (including the plex server).
My initial thought was that I simply don't have enough CPU for smooth playback, but I have enabled hardware acceleration in the Transcoder section of the settings which has significantly reduced CPU usage, it never spikes beyond 60-70% now, but playback is still not improved.
First time posting an issue... not really sure what is needed to help troubleshoot this or what else I can do to help improve this. Any help or direction would be very much appreciated.
