Plex and 4K - Can we play 4K video clips via Plex directly
This tutorial teaches you how to get Plex support 4K video files, so that you can play 4K files via Plex media server without hassle.
Plex says that they have built the new software for the living room PC from scratch. However, not all 4K videos are supported for Plex.

Transcoding 4K content is a very intensive process and will require a powerful computer running Plex Media Server.
