Post Body

So I am trying to direct play the shining locally at home on my Samsung tv and I noticed it buffers so I checked the server dashboard and saw that Plex uses almost twice the bandwidth required to play the movie. My internet speed is 50Mbps which should technically suffice in this case and the tv is connected through ethernet. I do however run my server on a laptop that's connected through wifi.

using 86 Mbps

Overall bitrate 42.1 Mbps
