ok got my pi2 PMS server all running nicely.
can play content (all locally) in chrome using plexweb and ipad and iphone/android phones.
however i have a pi B+ with rasplex and that struggled to play anything other than SD content.
tried a 1080p and 720p movie and both played about 3 or 4 seconds than stalled for while then played another second or so and stalled again. this was using direct play. tried setting rasplex to transcode instead and it was the same even when setting it to 1Mbps.
i then booted the pi B+ into raspbmc and was able to play both the 1080p and 720p files fine with the usb drive connected direct to the pi B+.
so the pi B+ is powerful enough to play the files directly.
so what might the problem be? is it rasplex on the pi B+ causing the problem? do i need a pi2 instead?
