I have an Odroid HC2 connected to a gigabit network with a samba share using unionFS. One portion of the UnionFS is connected to a google drive and the other to a local drive. My Plex server is an nvidia shield.
Here is the issue: when I play a video the playback will go to buffering and never recover. This will happen faster when direct playing and a bit later when transcoding but usually happens in the first 5 minutes.
When it happens I go to check on my Plex server (it is responding) and then my Nas with OMV (it is not responding to anything). I check smb, ssh, web, docker images, nothing is responding. Eventually it begins responding again but can take a long time to recover (not sure if Plex would ever start playing as I never let it sit for that long buffering)
It happens with local media or media that is on my google drive, but aside from that I can’t figure out where it is failing. I tried stopping some docker images, but it didn’t help. I am not sure where to look next to continue troubleshooting. I am assuming it is originating with my nas locking up, but why?
