I am currently running into issues where the content I am trying to stream keeps buffering on my PS4… My PS4 and the computer running the server are on the same network connected via Ethernet. It only seems to happen with some content but when I play the same content that is having issues on the PS4 through my laptop over WIFI it works fine. Any Ideas of what is going on?
Server Version#:
Player Version#:
Does the video needs to be transcoded for the PS4? That is usually the problem when buffering on local networks.
Having same issue since updating to Plex v2 for PS4. I’ve had constant buffering issues on 4K and 1080p videos with this new version. First I thought it was a Plex media server performance issue but confirmed that videos played without buffering issues on Windows and iOS.
@Swedie my video doesn’t need to be transcoded. I thought this was an issue at first so I converted/optimized my 4K video down to 1080p with AAC audio. When playing back the optimized version buffering issue persistent albeit less often but enough to be a nuisance. Again, this is only happening on the Plex v2 app on PS4 and this was never an issue prior to updating to this version.
