Server Version#:1.29.2.6364 Player Version#: on Roku premiere So I have a computer desktop with windows 11, with an ethernet connection to my roku, but for some reason, it will not stream 4k. Computer stats are: Intel I7-4770s CPU @3.10GHz 16 GB of ram AMD Radeon HD 7900 What setting am I d…

Before digging further into this… could you clarify what you mean by “it will not stream 4k”? Does it stream your 4K media in a lower resolution or not at all? As for why a file might be playing in a lower resolution… there’s a number of possible causes for that. client side client has direct pl…

Wow! Thanks for the information. Whenever I try to play a 4k file on my roku, through the plex app, it always says that the server is not able to stream, so you have to reduce it. I try to reduce the size to 720p and it still stutters. I have no problem playing a file that is a 1080p file, but w…

Thanks! Appreciate all the feedback. I thought it had to be my computer, but wasn’t sure. I am not streaming though, I am hard wired with ethernet.

In your Plex settings, is Local Quality set to Original? What model TV do you have? Does it support 4K HDR?

Yes, my roku can play 4k. It’s a Roku 4800 ultra. My TV is a series 8, 65". Only a year or 2 old. At any rate it appears my computer and Roku can’t do what I want it to do.

I think you missed my question: “In your Plex settings, is Local Quality set to Original?”

When I play the video, the settings are always set to play original. Is that what you are saying? Thanks!
