New user and I want to get my system optimized.
I'm currently setup with my server on my AMD Windows PC (fairly new and well equipped)
Not being an Intel unit I guess I cannot use the hardware transcoding??
Everything is being viewed on Nvidia Shields two in the house and one at a vacation home (internet streaming).
Is it better to use one of the home Shield's as the server?
Thanks
What model CPU and GPU? Hardware transcoding should work with AMD if you have a recent device and all drivers are installed.

If I'm in Hardware mode I get 5 seconds of video then buffering, then 5 seconds, etc.
Software setting plays straight through....
Oh so hardware mode does show up?
When you watch in the browser with hardware mode, what does it show underneath the player for speed and fps?
That's the problem then, 10fps is very slow. Are you sure there's no driver updates available?
Which driver would I look to update?

That's better
Yeah. That seems to have taken care of the issue.
Thanks a million and loving the service so far!
