QNAP: TVS-873e with 1TB M2 Cache, 8GB RAM and Integrated Radeon R7 GPU for 4K video
When I sit at my PC open PLEX using Chrome and select a 4K file it does not Direct Play but transcode so I wait 10 seconds, it plays 10 seconds then stops for 10 seconds and this repeats!
There are NO subtitles being used.
The network is CAT6 Gigabit fully switched.
