This is going to serve as a continuation of the discussion regarding network speeds required for video playback. It started with the comment that 100Mbit intnerface that some devices have, such as the FireCube are inadequate for KODI playback.

So in one of the last posts I made on that thread, I had about to test playback of the full 4K BluRay of Wakanda Forver as well as a Remux of the movie into a single MKV. I haven't had the chance to do that on the Fire Cube, but I did test playing it back on my main PC from the server, just to check the networks transfer data rate as well as the playback bitrate in real time. The Network transfer rate got as high as 100 ~ 109Mbit in a few places, but those were momentary spikes, the average data transfer rate was 55~65Mbit/sec.
Later this afternoon, I'll try to play back the movie from my FireCube and see how it behaves
