When it says 60fps the fire can handle 35Mbps video? Sooo does this then also mean if I have a 24fps video it can be about 70-80Mbps? Or how does that compute with watching standard 4k video?įormat/Info : High Efficiency Video Codingįormat profile : Main ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVCĬompared with something like this other video I know played fine before. The specifications you list I find a little confusing to compare. It is only the audio stream that sometimes will be unsupported. With that said the video stream is listed as direct/not being transcoded when I view it on the dashboard in Plex.
Playback from both servers are identical. The other is a much beefier server that can handle multiples of transcodes simultaneously. 1 is yes a NAS which as you suggest can maybe at best handle 1 transcode and certainly not 4k. Anyway I have tried playing from 2 different plex servers. I’m not sure why I took this out, at the time I guess it seemed no longer relevant. The Windows laptop would also be using the same wifi. The video I am testing with currently, the plex server reports its playing around the 80-90 mark.ĭoes the Fire Stick have a limitation with throughput? Is there something that I need to do to get this working?įor reference: I did a speed test (with my phone) on my wifi in the same room as the Fire TV and my results get above 500mbps download speed from the internet. The only thing I can perhaps pinpoint is that some 4k video will have higher bitrates like 60-100mbps.
It seems to play without issue and without transcode of any kind.
Tried playing the exact same video file on my Windows laptop w/ the Plex app. If I check the playback info the video is direct play and depending on the audio it can be direct play or transcode. Video will start and buffer on/off constantly. Anyone have any ideas? Most 4k video (mkv) files I am playing seem to have a really difficult time playing.
