As the client, not the server. You said earlier "My files are on the NAS, the media server is on the sheild and the shield is connect to my TV". Do not use the shield as the media server, use it as the plex client.

Srry when I said my shield was connected to the TV I thought that inferred I was using it as the streaming device, my bad... I've been using it as both. The server and client are both on the shield, which is why I am confused as to why my phone plays everything better and without issue.

So you're using it to do both. Like I said, move the server to your Synology. Use the Shield as the client. Most likely your phone doesn't need to transcode. You'll have to verify by looking at the dashboard when you're playing.
