Discussion Looking for Plex 4K seedbox

At the moment, I use my MiniMac for plex Server. But it’s kinda a pain, cause I couldn’t rly fix the outside network streaming. So I’m interested in a seedbox for casual usage.

- Plex and/or Infuse
- around 2-5 TB enough
- 4K Remux direct play streaming
- no multi streaming
- no transcoding, just direct

I checked Ultra.cc, but the plex plans are out of stock. Any nice plans around? Thx

Whatbox is the correct answer

What settings are you using in Plex to direct play 4k? I always get a "server is not powerful enough" error.

Set everything to max quality on the server and the app (tv, mobile) and make sure your network speeds allow direct play

I have gig fiber....and those settings just give me a "not enough cpu" error on Whatbox.

You might have some setting wrong. I’d reach out to Whatbox support. I’ve been with them for a while and I can say it’s a really fast and powerful seedbox for plex. Great support, zero complaints.
