Given the file integrity required to play this content smoothly, many users are turning to Plex or Jellyfin servers with direct-play capabilities (no transcoding). Transcoding a 65GB 4K file down to 1080p on the fly defeats the purpose; ensure your server and client are both 4K-compatible. ssis858 4k
