(Or at least that was the case with early generations. Just be aware that mixing different generations of MOCA hardware is usually a no-no, as in most cases the entire network's performance will drop to that of the slowest component. My system is based on 2.0 and I've never even come close to maxing it out with any combination of in-home traffic. There are several generations/versions of MOCA, with each subsequent one offering higher throughput. No more need to have a dedicated Plex Server stuffed somewhere using space and power. Re: MOCA, the link you quoted is accurate. Nvidia Shield can now be both a Plex Client AND a Plex Media Server. The more of its available resources that are consumed by simultaneous streams and/or transcoding, the sooner it's going to top out.) (Think of your server's performance as a finite commodity. Transcoding isn't "bad" per se, but it does place an additional burden on your server. Typically, you'd want to stream at the highest bandwidth that the available network can support, and for home viewing the ideal to strive for is often to avoid transcoding in favor of viewing at the original, full resolution. Transcoding is essentially on-the-fly re-encoding of a stream to accommodate lower bandwidth connections. Click to expand.Sorry for not better defining my terms.
