LG C3 + Plex Server + Remux

[Too Tall]

Just found this thread after seeing a post in an nvidia shield thread.

I’ve had a few buffering issues with large 4k files and had never thought it could be due to the tv’s 100mbs lan port.

I’ve got a spare usb Ethernet adapter, I’ll try that and report back.

Just plugged in the adapter, it shows as not connected but works!

If having isses you could try using Wi-Fi? I had the same issue with my LG on wired ethernet but my Wi-Fi point is 3 meters away from the TV and I can connect 866 Mbps.

I just got a new 42" C3 set up in the bedroom, and zero issues with 4k HDR content using the WebOS Plex app, 5Ghz wifi, and my little Unraid box as the Plex media server (Ryzen 3600 & 16GB DDR4)

I've tried different devices over the years and I have found the Shield Pro to be the best by far. Every other method has a compromise. The Shield connects to my LG CX65 and plays whatever I throw at it flawlessly. This include Dolby Vision Remux with Atmos/DTS-X. It is annoying having to use an external device but I have accepted that if you want maximum quality you have to jump through some hoops!

The main benefit of the ATV is it integrates remote function, so your normal remote controls it. Doesn't even feel like an external device at all.

No one with issues tried Emby?

Does have some issues with Dolby Vision depending on the container (mkv), everything else works perfectly for me. Largest self rip I have is 85gig (The Great Wall) which I use to test if I change anything on the network.
I use my backup google tv for Dolby Vision with Atmos.

Can you not use HDMI CEC on the Shield/another device? It's worked flawlessly for me on my Pi4 running Kodi (even works to control the PS5 with the TV remote).
