Prevent Stuttering

Do not use firesticks. They can't play 95% of video files so they make the server convert for them. Try the Nvidia sheild TV or the Nvidia Shield TV Pro

Always set plex to the HIGHEST quality. Anything lower will make it Transcode and use a ton of CPU resources

If you are on windows make sure you have the latest direct show filters requires restart
