Plex Stutters when playing 4K HDR files via Direct Play on AppleTV. On all three revisions of the AppleTV 4K. Even with gigabit ethernet connection. It’s intermittent, hard for Plex to reproduce. Often the first 20min or so of a file will work fine, but then it starts to drop frames. :fire: The cau…

The Stuttering has been happening for years. Initially it was with Netflix 1080p HDR video on AppleTV HD, then 4K 1st Gen, 2nd Gen and now 3rd Gen (or 4th, lost count which gen is the latest). It has got better, 1080p HDR is not stuttering anymore, at least in my case. Plex is not using the latest…

[image] johnblaze00: what new info? lol everyone at plex has known the root cause for YEARS lol their engine is running on an old outdated API for the last four years and there is still NO TIMELINE to fix/update that API. I know you’re not discussing this in good faith, instead hammering on …

[image] MrTemple: I don’t want the guy banned or his opinion silenced. You literally do lol [image] MrTemple: check with dane22 who also gave them a timeout and a final warning about a permaban, after which they came right back here at it). Also how do you know this? This is another l…

Hope you fix this issue. BBC Planet Earth 3 just sends the Apple TV into a shellshock from the getgo. Android TV playback (Integrated with the TV Plays it just fine…)

That’s been bandied about for years (maybe why Bing knows about it?), but unfortunately doesn’t resolve this CPU over-use issue for most files.
