4k video streaming from home network

[peterfranklin]

Is it correct that Android TVs won't support 4K video from a home network connected server? This is what the note in the help article for my TV stated (Article ID : 00163347).

My experience is that 4K movies streamed from my NAS to my KD55-AF8 have choppy video and audio, certainly not watchable.

Can anyone confirm , or if there's a solution.

Thanks

Maybe you didn’t read my previous post or you don’t trust me. 4k is not an issue the network is. 

Your tv lan can reach up to 100mbps regardless of the router capability and WiFi is not reliable enough. So the only solution is to find and buy an usb gigabit Ethernet adapter compatible with your tv.

If you want to check which is the actual limit of your setup you can download test file for example from this site

I did read your post which is why I tried streaming to my Mac, rather than the TV, which showed the local network can support 4K. 

btw I've tried adding more detail into this post but I keep getting messages saying the content is not allowed - although it doesn't specify which part!?

The part that was highlighted is that you cannot expect Sony to answer directly in here, but you can post whatever you feel are your own feedback and doubt.

back to the topic i don’t understand what you are trying to demonstrate via the Mac: it is a computer, it is faster and spot a gigabit Ethernet port if you are relying on a lan connection rather than wifi.

the tv, any tv, cannot match it

ps : maybe you are referring to the check the site does on permitted word.. it is crazy you cannot guess what you wrote the is not acceptable 😁
