plex media server - the server is not powerful enough to con

[macdalor]

Hi!
After installing the PMS on my 5BigN2 and trying watching films I get the error: "the server is not powerful enough to convert video" from plex server.

Is this a known issue with running PMS from this box? Are you guys aware of any specifics settings I should apply?

Thank you

yes this is normal, the cpu (1.2 GHz) of a 5big2 and the amount RAM (512MB) is not sufficient to convert video on the fly (meaning when streaming to a client)

so that means there's no point in installing the PMS on this box then?

only if you do not apply transcoding
