In an earlier post, I mentioned that I had some issues with the Video TS folders studdering / skipping just a bit over the network, but the .avi TV shows were playing fine. At the time, there was talk of moving it off the external USB to an internal based drive, which I did.
I ended up having the problem again the other night, and figured it out. It is either one of two things, and really , probably a combination of both. To solve the problem:
1. In the Plex settings, max out the cache in the local network video and audio. This will cause the DVD video ts to take about 10 seconds to "load", but, well worth it.
2. I unplugged my netgear wall plugs for the Cat 5/6 cables and replugged them in. It seems you have to do this from time to time with these guys.
Anyway, my guess is, you can use USB external drives and be fine - all you need to do is max out cache and reset any wall plugs you have, or reset the wireless router (N router, naturally :) ).
