4K Video Files not transcoding but buffering on gigabit network, why?

your pms server dashboard has real time bandwidth monitoring, if you see the graph having solid peaks ~100-110mbs while the client is buffering then it certainly sounds like the connection to your tv (regardless of wired/wireless) is simply not fast enough for that show’s bitrate.

4k is difficult, and smart tvs apps are often not quite as smart or good as people expect or want.
