Hello,
I have been having some issues using Plex at my new house. In the past I have always run the Plex software on my MacBook, I would then just stream it over my WiFi provided from AT&T to my Roku. I never had a problem at the old house, but the new house is not near a major city so the internet is just slower. This causes bad buffering problems when I try to play anything from my HDD using Plex. Even on the lowest video setting it will still causes buffering issues. I am able to stream Netflix and other streaming services fine using my Roku. Is there any other way I can set up playback? I had someone saw I can stream over LAN, but I'm not real sure how to set it up. I only have a small amount of computer knowledge. Would I need an extra computer that would be used as a server? Can I set something up that would just stream from my Mac to the Roku and would just skip my WiFi? Any info would be helpful. Again I do not know too much so any step by step articles would be great. Thank you in advance.
