 +Plex Media Server temporarily transcodes all media to a format that the client can play directly. This can cause to high CPU load on the NB2800, exspecially when there are more clients to be served at a time. If you want to lower the load of your server, you can adjust transcoding settings to your needs. For that, go to Settings -> Server -> click on "Show Advanced" -> Transcoder.
