You should try Nvidia shield or Firestick 4k, they both should support direct play. It's not the server that's a bottle neck for direct play, it's the bandwidth or client's processing. If you need transcoding, that's another story I guess, but if you got the bandwidth, direct play should work well theoretically. Direct play generally work well from my PC to Firestick 4k, but there are some cases Plex would tell me there are bandwidth issues, and I'm not entirely certain if it is the bandwidth issue. My router sucks however. lolYeah, the issue I'm running into is most of my devices aren't powerful enough for direct play of 4k, and some aren't even powerful enough for 1080p. So much power on tap at the server end for transcoding should fix that.
I don't watch much of his video anymore. I do notice he has changed since how much growth there has been with his channel over the years. I do find his video entertaining from time to time. I don't think I've seen much of his videos regarding audio besides the old ones when he was into making headphones videos or the Abyss rig stuff. I don't think I actually get tech tips, but get entertainment from time to time. He does certain things I've curious about which draws me to certain videos of his. I don't care for the podcasts.He's very knowledgeable about PC stuff but he's trying to bang out alot of content without any substance these days just for views. He cares more about views than anything else these days and his content is being pushed out for volume with little thought or testing put into it. He's lost all credibility with me.
He's been on a "debunking" audiophile myths thing lately. Because its an easy target and the popular thing to do apparently.
For a person who doesn't care about audio, he has alot of things to say about it. He should stay in his lane, no one is looking to linus for audio advice, nor car advice, nor diet advice, nor excercise advice, well you get my point.
Never know ifi could be next...
Just like politics, people have their beliefs. Either lean left or right. lol I don't like anything with extremes. I hate US poltics or just how much of mess it is in this country. I don't care for the media, etc.. Nothing is really fair in how things work. Is the media fair? I know people with deep beliefs that can't get outside the box. I always hope I'm not like that. It's always good to be able step back and look at thing from the outside.
