Video playback stuttering in Apple TV 4K Plex App

When watching my videos in the Apple TV 4K Plex app, random videos will stutter. This does not happen if I play the same content directly on my MacMini also using the Plex app. I have turned off direct play but that does not seem to help. Please advise.

There can be several causes.


1) Your network. It’s possible that your AppleTV’s network connection isn’t as stable as your Mac Mini’s.

2) The hardware. Keep in mind that Plex has to transcode videos for each device. It could be that it’s having trouble doing that for your AppleTV. I would try testing out different Transcoder settings.
