Background - I am having an issue with occassional pauses when streaming high-bitrate media across my home network to my smart TV. I *suspect* that the root cause is the (incredibly lame) 100 Mbps Ethernet interface in the TV.
just looked in my video library, largest file I see is for a multi-language 1080p MP4/x.264 version of Parasite, 2h 11m long, 10GB.
thats 1.3 MB/sec, or about 10 Mbit/sec. *easily* done on 100baseT.
is there any wireless between your server and the TV client ?
next largest file in 'recent' is The Irishman, also MP4 x.265 1080p, no subtitles, english-only 5.1 AAC audio, 4.1GB for 3:29 long, thats only 335kByte/sec, or about 3Mbit/sec, heck you could play that on 10baseT
