    Hello,
    I have no problems with anything else but 4K content streamed remotely gets choppy and then freezes up. How strong a computer do I need to stream this? I have an intel i7 quad processor and Intel Graphics (No graphics card) and 16GB ram. I am using Roku receiving client that is 4K capable and a 4K TV so there is no transcoding. The server also says it is not transcoding. But all 4K movies don't work after five minutes or so. I am using reverse proxy caddy with Dynu and my own domain. The connection is fiber to fiber. Thanks for any assist!
    I complain about Jellyfin a lot and have no idea what I'm doing.

    If the server says there is no transcoding, the issue might be bandwidth stability rather than CPU or RAM Geometry Dash. Have you tried a direct connection without the reverse proxy to see if the stream holds up longer?

    You are right. It's definitely something with the network. I can't get 4K to play on other clients (ios) on that network either. They just freeze or don't load. It works fine when accessing it on my home network externally and 1080p films load fine. You wouldn't think it would be a problem though since they are on fiber internet. Hmm....    Face-with-monocle

    I guess my question would be how strong does your internet need to be to stream 4K remotely. I'm using Dynu and my own domain reverse proxy through caddy.
