Hi, I didnt have much luck with Serviio, and while Mezzmo had some great features, it cost and didnt do as weill for me with the ability to scrape info for your files...
yeah a lot of times when I FF or REW, it just stops and buffers for quite a while...
yeah, i'm using Power over Ethernet, so probably network issue.
Not sure when you tried it, but version 3 of Mezzmo that came out this year includes automatic scraping. It also added for .iso and subtitle support for all devices. That's why I use it.

Always hated this
So now I re-encode everything I download to mpg with mkv2vob and I can ff and rewind and no transcoding has to happen
Never understood why all of these programs that transcode don't have an option to just save the transcoded file

Hey, Plex have release a 3rd party app for the ATV2 & 3, which doesnt require JB anymore, works so good, I bought a aTV3..!
Also, my Plex server is actually W8 running on a VM on my 2012 Host....I dont have CPU usages issue like someone suggested, perhaps they need to update the server?
Good to hear it. How is the interface on it? The ATV3 has a very nice SOC, would be great for Plex playback.
Been using serviio for a long time. Never used plex since i dont run mac. Theres nothing ive seen wrong with serviio. Its open source which only means the dev cycle is pretty slow in comparison however, most of their trans-coders work pretty easily with little need for tweaking. I use it on a laptop to stream media to a blu-ray player, a tablet and a few other laptops. I dont have any issues rewinding or fast-forwarding even when its transcoding and even when im doing things remotely. If you are a PC user like me and dont want to pay for an overblown Dlna server, Serviio is a really good option. If you already have access to plex, I dont see a reason to switch unless the device you are running is pretty obscure (thats one of the best part of open-source, its very easy to tailor a trans-coding program to meet your devices compatibility no matter what it is.). I had to encode a new profile for the blu-ray since its an off brand old POS that barely allows for media streaming and it took me all of 5 minutes to do with serviio. Its mostly a matter of opinion.
