Plex Media Server Stutter/Buffering now on M4 Mac Mini

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834
Hello, I don’t know if the issue is my the Mac Mini M4 as I hadn’t really used plex since switching to it from my M2 (M4 is about 6 months old) but when I use plex, there is a 1-2 sec. stutter/buffering (spinning yellow circle) every few minutes on the Apple TV plex client when watching video (1080). When I watch on my Nvidia Shield (2 of them), it will sometimes take a while to load the video. When I am able to watch, sometimes, if I fast forward, it’ll stutter or stop the video. Sometimes when the video ends, Plex will go blank and not move to the next video and I’ll need to restart Plex on the Shield.

I thought maybe my hard drive was slowly dying so I swapped hard drives but that didn’t take care of it. I changed out ports and hubs but still not resolved. I’ve tried restarting the mac but again, no resolution. I suppose the next option is to reinstall the media server but I thought I post for other suggestions. I included the logs if anyone wants to peek. Thank you!
