I have got Plex server running on my laptop and have tried to use PlexKodiConnect to run a client service on a raspberry pi 2 running OSMC. This was intended to overcome the processing power deficiency of the raspi as I know it can't handle .265 encoded movie files. The movie would play back ok on the laptop but when running PKC the playback on the raspi is terrible. I thought that the decoding took place on the laptop, this is why I set up PKC to be able to utilise the power of the laptop but stream to the small raspi which is connected to the TV. I don't want to have to connect the laptop to the TV and have cables running all over the place. It seems like in fact the decoding is trying to be done (And failing) on the raspi.
Has anyone else managed to do what I am trying? There are no "faults" as such but I could try and upload my log file if requested.
thanks in advance
