BUILD Hardware Recommendations for 4k Plex server?

[Stux]

Of course it is. Only morons or studio techs transmit uncompressed video.

Blu-Ray x1 speed is 36 Mb/s. That's high quality MPEG4. Let's go all out and just quadruple that - despite the fact that h.265 should be roughly twice as efficient, so we'd only need to double it. That's on the order of 160Mb/s, which is easily doable even on my Sony laptop's crap Realtek NIC.

Let's say plex is using some silly format that is less efficient than h.264, which everything decodes in hardware these days. Double that and said laptop can still pull it off. Quality GbE gear wouldn't break a sweat.

It only might be a problem if you were trying to stream 4K streams across wifi. Even then, the DirectStreaming format that plex uses has plenty of buffer to avoid most stalls.

At home i have a Panasonic 4K TV. For testing I streamed 4K through wifi. Works without a Problem for one Stream. Only got Problems if you try a Second at the Same Time.
APs are ubiquity unify. If you have good APs it'll work.
