    Quality’s another.

    As an example, the Amazon web player (on a brand new Android TV oled with a good ARM SoC, and/or a beefy desktop hooked up to it) skips frames and stutters. It has clear blocking from randomly changing the quality on gigabit symmetric internet, and precisely zero way to troubleshoot it.

    Plex?

    Perfect fluidity. No quality drops. And I can see that objectively with exposed stats, too.


    So, yeah. I get it; Amazon can’t afford an optimized player, being such a fledgling startup and all. A 7800 X3D is simply below its system requirements. Apparently.

    Hence I can’t afford Amazon either.
