When the stream is playing in both these apps, I can monitor the bandwith usage on my NAS.

There is something weird going on between PMS and the TV apps (Plex, XPlay) that doesn’t happen via DLNAīoth apps use the same HLS protocol to talk to PMS.

Only the Plex App on the TV produced and mangled output. IN all cases, the TV can play the file via DLNA on wifi, and the phone can play it via the plex app. No config changes made any real difference. I’ve tried multiple different Wifi setups on the TV and on the access point.

The Wifi connection is both fast enough and reliable enough.

Here are some conclusions I have drawn so far: PMS doesn’t support transcoding HDR videos properly so any transcoding makes the movie look like it was shot through 300 feet of fog.

The TV is on the latest firmware version.I also have a Chromecast Ultra hooked to the network on a Gigabit ethernet link.The wireless network is capable of 200~250 Mbit/s real-world speed (as reported by my phone, I couldn’t find a reliable speedtest app for the TV).The access point reports a connection speed of ~500Mbit/s (I had to do this because LG decided to cheap out and only include 100Mbit/s ethernet port…) The TV is connected to the network through 802.11ac.PMS (on the NS) is connected to the network through Gigabit Ethernet.Plex Media Server is installed on a Synology DS918 NAS.

I’ve got a 4K HDR file with a bitrate of ~72Mbit/, and I’m trying to play it on my TV, but I’m having a few difficulties. Server Version#: 1., Running on Synology DS918+
