Your connection is not fast enough Plex error [QUICK FIX]

Even though Plex is a more-than-reliable Media Server solution for a plethora of devices, users are seeking for the solution of the awkward connection problem. It’s mainly present on Nvidia Shield and Fire TV and it can be quite a dealbreaker. Especially since it’s present for almost 3 years and still isn’t fully addressed. The error reads Your connection is not fast enough.

Now, the real problem lies in the fact that the affected users most certainly have a good connection and the server‘s hardware capabilities are mostly dealing with transcoding.

Until the problem is dealt with future updates.
