Hello Petr,
I took your advice and disabled Transcoding, but this did not improve performance. I actually had other strange things happening. For example, I would play a video and five minutes into a six minute video, I would receive an error message saying either "Video codec not found" or "Audio codec not found". If a codec was not found, I would think that I would receive this error message immediately (from second one) and not five minutes into the video.
I was thinking that maybe my wifi modem was not performing well. Yesterday, I received a new modem from my I.S.P., but I still don't see any improvement so I don't think it has anything to do with the modem.
I have now turned Transcoding back on. I've also done two other things that might help. I've changed the channel width in my modem from 20GHz to 40GHZ and I've also gone into the Serviio Console and changed the Number of CPU cores to use from Optimal to 4 (my laptop has a quad-four processor). I'm going to carry out some tests for the next few days and I'll report back.
Maybe you can comment on what impact you think these changes might make. Or maybe you'll have other concrete tips that might help.
Thanks for showing interest in helping my solve my problem. I think that Serviio is a great product and I'm constantly recommending it to my friends.
