I've checked the file. It's a bog standard h264 mkv and the video bitrate is only 10Mbps. There's nothing that the fire stick shouldn't be able to handle on its own. I'll try playing it on the fire stick again and see if it's trying to do something weird, but I can't see it being that.
Curious what you find out. I can’t say I’ve had an issue direct playing anything on any device really. What you describe sounds exactly like seeking while transcoding though, that’s a pain in the ass and I just don’t do it. Direct play all the way.
I just checked the episode through Plex, and it's direct playing. I didn't get any stuttering while I was skipping around though. I think it's Plex itself, either the server or the player.
My physical server is a bit old now, it's a Haswell i5, so if this was an ultra HD bluray rip I could understand it, but it's been playing HD and 4k videos without issues for years now.
Direct play should take very little CPU regardless of media quality, I can have multiple 4K streams going and my utilization is <10% on a Cameron J3455 (4c/4t Apollo Lake). When you’re direct playing it’s more a factor of HDD/network speed and the client than anything server side.
Is it just that one file?
Nope. It does it with random videos every now and then, and with no obvious pattern. It's not lasting for a set amount of time either, so it's not like something's running in the background and slowing it down for a while.
In the past I've shut down everything I can think of on the server to stop something from taking priority, but it still happens. On those occasions it's happened for half an hour or more, but other times it might last for a few minutes, or just affect one episode.
