I have an old HP Pavilion p6-2100 with an AMD A4 A4-3420 CPU and I am trying to dedicate it to Plex and Stremio. When I use it with Stremio the CPU is pegged and there is a lot of lag between the video and the sound. Would updating it with a new video card resolve this?

    It does make more sense, thanks. I will check the player settings tonight, especially around hardware acceleration. Thanks again.

      I looked into the settings, located and turned on hardware acceleration. I tried watching a show this morning and it worked. I left the show going while I did some chores and, unfortunately, when I came back to it the program was locked up. I’ll try it again tonight (and look into what ‘hardware acceleration’ means ) :-)

      Thanks!
