HI there, thought I'd post about this since I've recently got a Raspberry Pi 3 and one of the first things I tried doing is setting up PMS on it. I have the RP3 plugged in to my router (BT Homehub 4) directly with Ethernet and have a Synology NAS also plugged in to the same router.
I've mounted the drives so PMS on the RP3 can access them.
Performance so far has been hit and miss. I'm not sure what the best way of me being able to test this but it doesn't look like the RP3 is really doing much in the way of transcoding. I've streamed a 500mb mkv file of a TV episode fine to my iPhone 6 (which I then sent to Chromecast tv), but it wont work with 1gb file in the same format. I don't get an error but it just hangs.
I'd be interested to see if theres any settings I could try to improve performance or if theres anything I could do to help provide some more detail of my setup since I know what I've said is a bit vague.
So far I've tested streaming plex to
* My macbook
* Ipad 4
* iPhone
* Apple TV (via airplay)
* Chromecast
It seems like if the video plays on one of them it will play on all.
I'd be interested to hear what anyone else's experiences have been with a similar setup, and if theres any reccomended settings I could adjust beyond the defaults, such as transcoding settings. I appreciate I might need to ensure more of my video library is in a more suitable format going forward if the Raspberry Pi falls below the reccomended spec for PMS...
