I was wondering if all Plex clients buffer a movie/tv show in case of a slow down in lan/wan connection, the reason I am asking is I have been uploading my content to the Amazon cloud drive in preparation for Plex cloud, and have tried to stream a couple of my movies on the Amazon app on an iPhone and iPad, I can get 1 stream to work flawlessly, but I start to get pauses when I start a second, the content I am playing is all direct play compatible, all around 4mbps optimised 1080p using handbrake, and my BT infinity speed is 37mbps download, I intend to move to virgin media 200mbps service in 12 months time after my BT contract has ended, (if only Plex had announced Plex cloud 2 weeks earlier, before I recontracted with BT). In the meantime I was hoping I would be able to get by as is

If you are currently uploading, this could impact your download and viewing.

Ultimately it will depend on your internet connection on how many videos you can stream at once when using plex cloud
