Summary
- If you’re a Plex user and have experienced issues with streaming there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue
- The first step is to always restart both your internet and your Plex server as this can solve most temporary data and clutter issues
- This involves restarting your modem and router, shutting down the Plex application and services and restarting once more
- If this doesn’t work, check to see if any updates are available either for the Plex application itself or any of the plugins that you use
- Another way to troubleshoot the issue is to adjust your streaming settings to less demanding settings to see if this improves the stream
- If you are hosting the Plex library on your own hardware you need to ensure you meet the minimum requirements in terms of CPU, RAM and internet speed
- The final option is to limit the number of users who have access as too many concurrent users can cause streaming issues
