You mentioned buffering once before, but does your build have any issues with playing full Blu Ray rips? Ive had had trouble with both remuxed MP4s and homestreaming and Plex (Direct) but only on some movies, yet my ATV3 was fine with the same things via homesharing and plex connect. It seems to be a buffering issue with the ATV4. Since you are directly playing from a file share and not streaming it might not be an issue but I don't know how the internal atv4 player bits work?

what can I say, plex sucks I don't see any issues with buffering.

Thanks for the response. i dont disagree on plex but it was the only option for my ATV3.

I think the issue was with the native player, which kodi or mrmc wouldnt use...
