Performance expectation for ROKU-3 ?<\/p>\n
Without going into deep details yet, what should I expect out of my fairly old ROKU 3?\u00a0 Or my Plex setup.<\/p>\n
I store all my media on a Plex server running on a dedicated PC (re-purposed HP Compaq Pro 6300 i3 with 4GB RAM).\u00a0 ROKU is connected via CAT6 cable to a gigabit switch (TP-LINK TL-SG1016DE), where all other network devices connect.<\/p>\n
As a rough guide, I can copy files from PCs to my NAS (XigmaNAS running on a different dedicated server of similar specs to the Plex server) at 100+ MB\/sec, so I think my network “infrastructure” is sound.<\/p>\n
But my ROKU 3 (Model 4200X) can’t play anything above 480p; any attempt at 720p or 1080p content fails.\u00a0 Advertising copy foe this device sez “Plays 720p HD & 1080p Full HD Video”.<\/p>\n
I need some guidance as to whether I should accept this performance level, or if I should be investigating further.\u00a0 And if this sounds like a Plex problem, a hardware\/CPU\/disk problem, or a network\/cable\/switch problem.<\/p>\n
Any suggestions welcome.<\/p>\n
