![]() ![]() But all 450+ files will take a good long while. Lastly, I could just leave my desktop on for a week and let it just transcode all my HEVC to H264 and go the Pi route anyway. But I've also read a lot of posts from people saying it's terrible as a plex server and it's HEVC transcoding is bugged and not working. Next up is the Shield, which, on paper, looks perfect. My next option was a cheap desktop, something like a NUC or Cubi but finding one with the power to transcode cheap hasn't been terribly easy (I'm also unsure if they can transcode HEVC in real time). I was going to go the Raspberri Pi route but the PS4 apparently can't play HEVC/h265 content and the Pi sure ain't gonna transcode that. ![]() Ok, so what I want is a low power plex server that I can always leave on to serve media to two computers and a PS4 instead of leaving my gaming desktop on all the time as the server.

Spectrum provided a Technicolor TC8717T and I’ve been through two of them. My ISP on this LAN, Spectrum/Time Warner requires that I use their modem so I can’t really test that. The recommendation from Fingbox was to replace the ISP-provided equipment with my own modem and router. I can log on the PR4100 and access it through the web interface.Īfter three service calls from my ISP, replacing the FIngbox, and discussions with Fingbox technical support the indication is that there is some interaction among these three devices that causes this issue. By looking at the modem/router/gateway device, about half of these reports are false. In addition to the PR4100, I have a network monitoring device called a Fingbox on the network and both frequently report that the network connection is down. Long version: I am having a very similar problem with my PR4100. Short version: You may want to consider replacing any ISP-provided modem and router with your own equipment. Or is it a configuration setting on the cable router? (another test I need to perform is to reboot the cable modem and see if the drive appears).Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ![]() Is there a configuration setting somewhere on the PR4100? What could be causing the drive to be online for a good percentage of the time and then suddenly go offline? During one of the “Drive Offline” episodes, I’m still able to fully utilize the drive while I’m in the WiFi coverage area of the house, but anyone outside the direct WiFi connection gets the “Drive Offline” error message. When I have someone power down and reboot the PR4100, I can then access the device via M圜loud on the smart phones.Īgain, rebooting the drive will cause the drive to appear on remote users’ M圜loud App.ītw. But remote access to the PR4100 via Smart Phones running M圜loud when I’m offsite is about 70% available / 30% drive offline. The Smart TVs are a little less reliable. I am able to access the drive via laptop, iPhones, iPads, Samsung fairly reliably using WiFi when in the house. I’m running a PR4100 connected to a cable modem in my home office. I have a recurring issue with the PR4100 displaying “Drive Offline” on the M圜loud App on the SmartPhones. ![]()
