Looking for recommendations on a streaming box to connect my TV to plex. I have a lot of 4k blu ray rips averaging 80-100mbps and I’m struggling to find a client that can handle it. First I had a Roku, which had network bandwidth issues. So I moved to the new fire stick 4k max, which still buffers like crazy. I don’t think its network related because its pulling 500mbps down, and my laptop (which pulls 300 down) can stream it just fine. So any recommendations on a tv streaming box? I’ve seen the Nvidia shield, and the Mecool KM2 plus deluxe but want to get some opinions before buying anything. Thanks!

    I have had no problems using my Roku Ultra. I would check to make sure there isn’t any transcoding occurring on playback before buying something else. If there is you might try troubleshooting that before buying a new device.

      No transcoding, it’s doing direct play for video and audio. The roku eventually gives up and plex gives a “your network is not good enough” error unfortunately
