So I just got my first 4K TV (LG 70UM7100PLA) and I have questions.
My setup:
The 4K TV as mentioned.
Infuse Pro (Latest).
Share from iMac with SMB.
Apple TV4 (to weak?)
Is there anything I need to do, some setting or something in order to watch in 4K?
I’ve tried Wireless and Wired (from the last AirPort Extreme) but a 4K movie is still choppy AF, remedy?
It won’t do you any good with an ATV 4 it takes the ATV 4K (5th gen atv) to do the 4K work.
So I need a ATV4K for 4K, no workarounds?
No, sorry the max output of the ATV 4 is 1080p. Also the processor (A8) really doesn’t have the horsepower to do the x265 compression and 4K video.
Allright.
Looks like I’ll be without 4K until the new Apple TV drops.
Thanks
I know there are rumors floating all over the place about a new ATV coming but even if it does drop soon you can still use the current ATV4K on a non 4K tv to play 4K videos at 1080p and they look fine! The faster processor really makes a difference.
The way Apple has been hampered by the current situation I’d not be surprised if it’s not still several months out. I could be wrong but that’s just my guess.
Maybe if I find a used ATV4K I could buy it on the cheap.
Feels foolish to buy a complety new one if the next one is just around the corner.
As a band aide fix you can setup a plex or emby server and install the client apps from the LG App Store. This will get you the 4K playback until you can invest in a new Apple TV.
Im trying that right now, Emby that is.
However, I cant seem to login on my LG and it wont accept IP number for the server, but on iOS it works.
But… I’ll figure it out hopefully. 
It might require premiere and an emby connect account.
Alright, I’ll examine it further, thanks
