    Is it even transcoding the content? If so, is your source and transcode temp on different hdd's? Not just different partitions on the same physical disk.

    I ask because if they're on the same drive, you could be i/o bound.

      I believe it is transcoding, there are files in the temp folder. I've tried both on a seperate drive and the same drive.

        Well crap. Can you try a different client to play with and see if it buffers like that? Or do you have another server that's shared with you that you can try? I don't have any 4k content because I don't have a player for 4k content, despite having a 4k TV. ����

          I have some fire sticks and chromecast but I don't think those are 4k capable.

            I did try it over DLNA but it wasn't any better or worse.

              I asked some friends in a Plex group on Telegram and they all said 4k streaming can be spotty on anything but the Nvidia Shield.

                        That may or may not be the case, but that's what their experience has been.

                          4k works just fine for me long as I am not transcoding.

                            So it's a Plex issue then?

                              I only have two 4k movies on my Plex server. Both play fine with my Roku Ultra using an old computer as a server.
