316/516 + DLNA/PLEX questions
I am looking at purchasing either the ReadyNAS 316 or 516 in the near future, and have some questions about the built in DLNA server versus installing the Plex Media Server. I understand the differ...
Yes Thanks, it all started to go wrong after I received an update for Plex? From then on every time I run Plex using my Panasonic 3DTV it just "Cooks" my NAS CPU, you can watch the temperature suddenly rise from a normal operation level of about 51 deg C to over 70 deg C in matter of seconds and the app then falls over :-(. If I steam to my iPhone yes it has to do some transcoding and the temp does rise slightly to about 60 deg C but no higher and everything is fine :-)
The really strange thing is if I use my DLNA enabled BluRay player as the client that works fine too as no transcoding is taking place and Plex is using the Generic Profile here? There's something strange happening with this Panasonic Viera 3DTV Profile to make it "COOK" my CPU, because before this update everything worked perfectly fine so I don't know what's going on or if anything in that Profile has been changed? If any other users can comment here I'd be glad to hear? Thanks
