Apple TV 4K 1. Gen starts stuttering on 4K x265 HDR.
Yes. Plex app is trash, uses pre ios12 api, no hw, forced in sw, runs the cpu heavy. It thermal throttles. If you get Infuse, it uses Apple's API and runs through it's hw decoders. Runs efficient and cool and no stutter. Has more audio and video support. More on reddit.com

I'm unplugging my Apple TV 4K for good - here's why
November 13, 2025 - There was a time when I was all in on Roku, so I can see myself landing back in that camp, or maybe I'll give Amazon's new Fire TV Select a chance, though the platform's recent shift to Vega OS and the rampant blocking of a certain type of app limits its appeal considerably, especially as the cost of streaming app subscriptions continues to skyrocket. In reality, I really don't want to abandon the Apple TV 4K and tvOS. It's the platform I've used for years, and I'm very comfortable with it. I just need Apple to step its game up like it did back when iOS started to suffer from stability issues a few years ago.
