First of all i wanna thank the whole Kodi Team & Community.
Especially "wrxtasy" for this 2 Threads (including "Hakuna99") --> START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Nov. 2018) & 4K HDR10 - State of Play thread - important media player limitations
Here is my Test-Result
- Test-Setup
TV: 65" LG OLED B7
ISP: Init7 "Fiber7" 1Gbit/s symmetrical (ISP information is probably relevant for future tests)
Router: Asus RT-AC88U
NAS: Synology DS1812+ (Connected with Cat6 Cable to RT-AC88U)
AV-Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR906E (only relevant for audio tests)
Speakers: JBL SCS 178 5.1 Speaker Set (not really relevant)
- Today's Test-Device: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (connected via 5GHz WiFi)
Running Kodi 18 (Leia) RC1 (set to 3840x2160 10bit 60Hz - Audio set to allow passthrough for AC3 & DTS)
Video Files are streamed from DS1812+ via 5GHz WiFi (SMB-Share)

jellyfish-200-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv 200 Mbps 3840x2160 HEVC Main10 5.2 High 731 MB Almost Smooth (sporadic slow downs)
The Result is ridiculously good!
I didn't expect it to run videos with over 60 Mbps Videobitrate via 5GHz Wifi smoothly.
Bought the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K on Black Friday for 39€ just to Kodi on it.
I also bought just in case the Gigabit UGREEN Adapter that wrxtasy recommended.
But i didn't use it yet.
Well im honestly very positively surprised.
side-note: The only thing i noticed having trouble to "fix" is that in the Menu i get an audio-delay for every single movement for about 1/2 a second or up to 1 second.
Cheers!
