I picked up a Fire TV Stick 4K over the weekend and side loaded Kodi onto it. Got my movies in the library through SMB from a USB drive attached to my 2011 Mac Mini. Navigation is fine, but when I go to play a movie, it takes about 15-20 seconds to load and it goes that same process every 4-5 seconds, making the movie unwatchable. These are mostly Blu-ray rips that I own or HD movies that I have downloaded from iTunes and removed the DRM. I'm not into pirating any movies or anything. Our home WiFi is Google WiFi and one of our WiFi points is within 5 feet of the Fire TV Stick 4K. Any thoughts on my problem? I'm not sure if it is WiFi problem or a Fire TV Stick 4K just not being powerful enough to stream the video. Thanks.
