not sure yet with 4K.
It can stream 4K, but it is not able to transcode 4K in real time. ReadyDLNA doesn't transcode anyway, so that constraint only applies to Plex.
So if your Plex player isn't 4K capable (or the network path doesn't have the capacity to carry the 4K stream), then you would need to do off-line transcoding.
Thank you both, this is very helpful.
Stephen, one more question and sorry for my ignorance on the topic. Is transcoding 4k a Plex limitation or HW limitation?
Also Mark mentioned that it do media streaming using DLNA, Plex, itunes, Tivo, ... - does this mean that I can use any of these applications to stream?
Thank you.
