Therefor , there are advantages in each processing ability and expression ability

What WiFi channel would you try Sam
If possible not used or with less traffic.
I've tried WiFi and wired still having issues very strange ipv4 ipv6 tried everything
IPV 6 i would not recommend for this box, use always if possible IPV4. Try to change from dhcp to static ip and set your buffer time to higher value, this could help.

Hey guys.
I’m having an issue with Buffering too. I’ve a wired Ethernet connection going into the GTV. Usually I’ve pretty good internet speeds but Ive noticed that if the speed drops to 40mb the my plex App really struggles and buffers every few seconds. Have any of you guys got any suggestions I could try?

Reboot router

Had a buffering problem yesterday on my Z8pro. Was watching Sport Austria 3, was lagging every 10-15 seconds. All other channels work fine. I have wireless with >150mbit, so no problem with that.
I was changing the buffer from none to 5sec and 10 sec., but no effect whatsoever.
Do I have to reboot the box to get the buffer into action?

Provider issue. Not an issue with your device

Reboot router
Hey Den, thanks for the suggestion, tired that tonight and had the same thing happen. Speedtested on an app on the GTV and was getting about 60mb down but plex was Still buffering badly. Had to reduce quality to 720p to watch. Surely with 60mb down you should be able to stream 1080p?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated

Hey Mevi. Thank you for the reply! My isp speed last night was about 60mb - 70mb down. I don’t have a static isp. When the buffering was happening last night as a comparison I tried to run a 4K movie in Netflix on my Apple TV just to see if it would work with the speed that I was getting and it streamed with no Issues.

Did you try to clear the cache ? close the application or reboot the device.

Hey Formuler456!
Thanks for the suggestion. I closed the app and I did a restart on the device just incase also. I just did a few Speedtests on analiti on the device and it’s reading about 240mb down and I’m still crazily buffering on Plex trying to stream a 1080p tv show
