Not enough CPU for conversion of this item

Problem/Motivation
I have some TV on a Synology NAS and want to use Plex to play it back on a TV with a Plex client, via this addon, but Plex can't stream a 1080p video, it complains it doesn't have enough CPU. Plex won't even start the video and complains "Not enough CPU for conversion of this item"
I don't know if this is something that Hassio can do or this addon, but I assume that tuning Docker would be needed.
Am I better off modifying the Plex addon with Portainer to change the resources available?
👋 Thanks for opening your first issue here! If you're reporting a 🐛 bug, please make sure you include steps to reproduce it. Also, logs, error messages and information about your hardware might be usefull.
Spending a little time looking at Portainer I can see that as far as Docker is concerned the container for plex has unlimited use of CPU and Memory resources. So I think the answer would ultimately be for me to move my Hass machine to something with a little more horsepower, the setup I have is Ubuntu 18.04 on an Acer Revo Atom PC from a few years back, the only thing I could do would be to move the disk to SSD and see if that helps.
