Plex server is Mac OSX. Latest version of plex media server .19 and latest OSx.
Firetv stutters on anything which needs transcoding. The cpu usage on the trancode <=5% and not sustained. The network usage is in busrts of 1.5MB/s - 2MB/s again, not sustained. Ie the system is not strained at all. and yet it stutters ever 10-30 seconds.
I can also play the same videos over the same networks using the same server and media source through a PS3 (DLNA or plex app), Sony Blueray player over DLNA, and direct over NFS via a WD Live.
The ability to play it direct over NFS proves the network is not an issue. The ability to play it through the other two clients both which cause transcoding, shows its not the server which is directly the issue. Its seems to be the amazon firetv app which is an issue.
I found one forumn post matching this directly but for xbox app, which stated that the packet headers of some process on the client where incorrect , thus causing the client buffers to continiously empty before being replensihed. This sounds identical to what I am seeing, but for FireTv.
Can you help me resolve why the fireTV app is stuttering please.
Thanks
