Hi all, I use my plex server to stream media from my PC in my office (connected via Ethernet) to my LG tv (C2) which is on wifi in the living room. It plays most things without issue but once I get into BD Remux stuff (average 60mbps+) it buffers. Now my question is if I hooked up an ATV 4k to my tv would that wifi card be faster than my TVs card? Otherwise I need to wire an Ethernet cable from living room to office which is going to be a nightmare.
Appreciate any tips or info!
It depends what you mean when you say it buffers. If it’s transcoding then one issue is that the LG TV client doesn’t support the video and it’s trying to convert on the fly. If it is, then it isn’t a bandwidth issue.
It’s debatable whether the WiFi on the Apple TV is faster than the LG TV. But it should direct play nearly all videos, and moreso if you use Infuse player (paid app/subdcription).
