Unfortunately using a NAS drive for viewing videos on your TV can often produce stuttering issues and nothing to do with Sky but how the tv is able to deal with the video especially if they are 4k.

Hi @Zaffygsi69 

@cuke is spot on that its very likely that your TV cannot decode the file quick enough or your plex server cannot transcode it fast enough. For high quality 4k playback via plex your server must be powerful enough to transcode the movie or the device you are watching on must support direct playback of which smart TVs often do not. 

 

You'd need an external device to support direct playback such as Google TV, Nvidia Shield etc.

Re: Wan only shows 100mb

Hi I have sorted the issues. As said it is a limit of the port in the TV being a 100mb card.  I have now purchased a usb3 to Ethernet 1gb adaptor and am now getting 515mb speeds and have no issues playing files over 100gb, tried titanic and that's like 180gb and that now plays flawlessly.

 

Thanks for all the help people.
