I've used Plex for over a year but but for the past 6 months it's increasingly non-functional.
I have my media stored on a Synology NAS and I've found that their DS Video app plays back content faultlessly even if the app isn't near as well featured as Plex. Plex is installed and running on a Mac Mini.
I use Plex on an iPad/iPhone to stream that content to an ATV3. Here's the problem: Plex sometimes starts up (and often doesn't) but even when it does once the first item that's streamed finishes, further content won't stream. That's possibly because the Mini has gone to sleep and despite setting the SyS Prefs to keep the Mini awake it doesn't seem to work. Or alternatively the Wake on LAN doesn't work? Either way I end up quitting Plex and launching DS Video which works flawlessly. As stated I've changed the energy saving settings and the WoL settings to no avail. All software the latest versions.
Any suggestions?
