P.S: In case I buy the Shield and buffer still happens I'll update thread. On the other hand I'd get a better 1080p scaling with the Shield as far as I know, so that's nice. The shield will add another remote and although not really a problem, it's an inconvenience. I might go for a Shield, I won't accept having pauses during a movie to buffer, I just liked the idea of using LG's remote for everything. My deduction then is that it's related to the native Plex app on the TV? It should be plenty enough though, specially since the Lion King Movie is "just" 54Mbps for 4K HDR. I've ran speedtests on a Mac Mini which is also connected to this same router and I get around 250/300 DL/UL speeds (main router has 600/600), so I assume the connection to the main router (the one unRAID is connected to) is perfectly fine.įor some reason this TV doens't have a 1 gigabit ethernet port, just 100Mbps. The TV is wired connected to a router acting as a repeater. I've read it might be related to subtitles (I turned all of them off) or True HD audio tracks I think (I tried both DTS and AC3). It could play the movie perfectly for 35 minutes and then pause to buffer like 4 times during a 2 minute period. It happened a lot with The Lion King 4K HDR for instance. The problem I've encountered is that it sometimes stops the playback to buffer. It direct plays everything I've tried, from HD to 4K and also HDR. Or better yet, pick up a NAS and a couple of huge hard drives.Hi! I didn't want to respond yet, since I've been trying out the native LG C9 Plex app during this last week. It works.

You’ll also want to pick up a hefty hard drive (or two) to hold all your digitized movies.


And thanks to its mobile processor setup, it’s more energy efficient to run all the time too. But at the same time, it’s also far less expensive than a full computer system dedicated to just streaming your stuff. At $200 on average (sales do happen!), it’s not a coffee and snacks level of money. How easy is it? The hardest part of the Plex hardware itself will be buying the Nvidia Shield Pro. Update, 11/30/21: Verified all content and links are still good. But with an Nvidia Shield Pro, it couldn’t be easier to set up your own Plex server. It used to be that getting the hardware together was either expensive, complicated, or both. Setting up a Plex server is like creating your own personal Netflix for the stuff you own.

And that’s why you should consider digitizing them and creating a Plex server. If you own a ton of DVDs, digging them out to watch a movie or show you love can be painful.
