[Slow boot on GIGABYTE GA-J3455N-D3H and Jun's Loader v1.04b DS918+]

Nothing to worry, it take some times since 1.04b but nothing wrong in the boot log, try to attach a serial port and look your boot log.

Same test as pmchan on a j3455 aka the cpu of the 918+ on a gigabit lan, poor passmark but :

 

[hw transcoding fix v1.04b DS918+]

The name of this thread is not good, this thread is about ASRock J4205-ITX, all j3455 or j4015  have a working HW transcoding, no need of a custom lzma, it work with only the jun's1.04b.

(video station need a real serial, plex dont, but need a plex pass)

[GA-J3455-D3H soft lockup]

Im afraid there's nothing to do right now with your board and the 6.2.2-24922 update, the i915 driver KP, i tried this afternoon, same board, and now i'm downgrading to 6.2.1-23739 and we have to wait for an upgrade of the jun's 1.04B driver.

 

If you dont mind about HW transcoding you can try the 1.03B loader, not sure if it work but since it doesn't have a i915 driver maybe it does not KP.
