I have Plex Server and a Roku (I don't have a TV with HDMI or i'd have an ATV). Computer is a 2011 Mini running Lion.
My network is the issue at the moment I think. I have an Original Time Capsule connected to the modem, and an Extreme in my room as an extension. My media is stored on a WD MyBook Live hardwired to the Extreme. I was running my Mini over wifi, but ordered a cable to connect it to the Extreme to speed up access to the MyBook Live and figured since it is 3 feet away why was I running it over wifi?
Today the kids tried to watch a movie - and the server was missing. I made sure it was running and tried to discover it. No go.
Finally I realized that I had hardwired the mini this week - and sure enough, i unplugged it, turned wifi back on, and BAM. It works.
Am I just unable to run it hardwired? Or do I need to tweak a setting?
Thanks!
