Hi gents my son has a android prestigio tablet with the plex app installed

On the desktop PC downstairs we have the plex server with all our films on it.
We can watch a film streaming over the net for only 1 minute before it freezes i have turned on the wireless so it dont go to sleep but not sure what else to do ?

if you cant resolve your probs m8 try this ---> Serviio media server you will download the paid pro version which works for 15 days then reverts to the free version if you dont want to pay, free and pro are very similar its just the pro has a few other functions, i have tried all the other home media servers, serviio pisses all over the rest

serviio is used basically to stream to dlna devices smart tvs, xbox, ps3 but i think theres an app for android devices, the pro version off serviio lets you stream over the net to none dlna devices i think ----> Apps as im using the free version im not sure how this works i just stream to me smart tv, if your not sure pop over to serviio and join the forum, the lads over there will sort you oot.

I have an LG TV and use serviio to stream,
I had problems with certain file types, but once I installed serviio no more problems.
