Hello, I have 2 * PS4s (one wi-fi, one ethernet) which stutters consistently whilst remote playing between 10mbps-original quality. When I switch to the Chromecast or the Web player, there are no issues at all. The client internet bandwidth is 300/30mbps, the server is 100/100mbps.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
The following is my PS4 profile:

Very strange, it used to work flawlessly until recently. I sometimes switch to the PS4 because certain media on the Chromecast has weird jittering (especially during panning scenes) because of what I assume is TV refresh rate incompatibilities (in the UK).
Ps4 has been a very unreliable plex client for me.

did you verify if the PMS server was transcoding the media ?

According to Plexpy, it was transcoding the video and copying the audio at ‘Original’ quality. According to the screenshot, it looks like it downscaled the video slightly?
Playstation 4 (stuttering, ethernet&wifi):
Chromecast (no stuttering, wifi):

it appears that it was transcoding the audio and the video.
Transcoding audio doesnt require that much cpu, but it is the contrary for video.
on what device is PMs installed ?
Ubuntu 14, the issue is intermittent and works fine on other devices. Only recently has the PS4 been choppy. According to Plexpy, transcoding speeds are usually 3-4x and a lot of the time gets throttled.
