The plex app refuses to play 4K and says my connection is too low. Doesn’t matter if it’s wired or an ap 5 feet away, my iPhone gets almost 850mb down in the same room. If I play the 4K file directly from VLC I see absolutely 0 stuttering or glitches. I really don’t understand why plex has issues direct streaming (no transcoding). The computer has 16 cores so it’s not the problem, only plex has the issues.
Plex has a much better UI and UX than anything else.
Plex has a configurable bit rate limit on the server side for streaming. The default is too low for a lot of 4k media. Just set it to something stupid high.
