Currently, I'm using the Nvidia Shield to play movies that I have ripped to an external hard drive. It works fine for 1080p but not for 4k UHD movies. I've determined that the only solution is a dedicated PC. But therein lies the problem. I want to do this as cheaply as possible but I don't want any stuttering or other problems. Some of the 4K UHD files are huge. John Wick 3 is 68.4 MB. Some are bigger.
I've read a lot on the new mini-pc's that are quite powerful but not sure if they can handle the workload. I have my doubts. I leaning towards just building a gaming PC but it will be used only for movies. I'm not sure what components i need for this build that won't break the bank.
Any help is appreciated.

I own a shield, too (2019 model) wich I find pretty powerful but I just use it for streaming netflix & co. and emulators.
Is that drive of yours connected via USB or network? Perhaps the USB connection is too slow to handle the bitrate?
As for the player I'd suggest you to check out "Kodi" and "VLC" - I think both dan display things like CPU/GPU usage
during playback. If transfer speed is the issue you might try and stream via LAN (in case it's 1gbit wired of course^^).
If you prefer a PC solution - for playback you don't need anything fancy since most CPU with integreated GPU can handle x264/x265 encoded content
and will also allow retro gaming and some casual stuff. Guess every 2nd hand laptop or MINI PC with an core i3/i5 gen8 or newer CPU will do the trick.
If you need to run AAA games as well the pricetag will go to the roof of course.

I've tried connecting the drive both ways...via USB and Network. It simply cannot handle any UHD 4K movies. It will stream UHD 4K but those files have been compressed and there's a lot less data compared to a ripped UHD MKV file tha is uncompressed.

You don't need a full on PC for 4k. A Raspberry Pi 4 with LibreELEC installed will render 4k just fine whether the file is on the SD card locally or even over an SMB connection.

If the files have insane bitrates and/or the encoding settings are out of specs (like too many reference frames) you'll probably end up with problems on all SoC-based solutions, probably even the new Pi5.

Well uncompressed usually means lossless video, in this case a movie might end up with 1TB.
I think you're talking about "untouched" BluRay rips wich are still compressed during it's original authoring of course.
What player applications did you try on your shield?

What type of USB port USB-a or USB-c?
USB-a:
USB 1.0/Low-Speed: 1.5 Megabits per second (Mbps)
USB 1.1/Full-Speed: 12 Mbps
USB 2.0/Hi-Speed: 480 Mbps
USB 3.0/SuperSpeed: 5 Gbps
USB 3.1/SuperSpeed: 10 Gbps
USB-c 20 to 40 Gbps
Most laptops now being produced include st least 1 USB-c and a HDMI port so you can watch the movie on what ever size display you want.

I tend to agree since the Shield is still something to be reckoned with, you won't want to buy something that's just a bit better than it.
@Billy if you have a Samsung Galaxy S phone from the S8 onwards you can buy an HDMI to usb c and use the Samsung Dex environment.
I have a lot to say but first I want to confirm a few things.
I will say that I found a way to get the lossless 4K movies to play using KODI on the NVIDIA Shield. It looks and sounds great. However, I want to use JellyFin but no luck on that front.

Okay, I have it all figured out. I changed the video playback bit rate on the Shield from Auto (default) to 128MB. That did the trick. So Jellyfin will now play 4K lossless video and Atmos sound. I also learned a few things from you guys. Thanks for all the input. That knowledge will come in handy in the future. Thanks again.

Never give up the shield^^
I'm not familiar with JellyFin - guess the internal player might need some tweaks, not shure if there are advanced settings avalable.

I'm gonna have to plead ignorance on a lot of this. I wasn't familiar with codecs and I didn't have some of them enabled. The other problem, as I mentioned, is that I changed the bit rate from Auto to 120MB.
Stupid me, I was thinking I needed to build a gaming PC to play lossless video. Live and learn.

If you want to rip a bluray medium without re-encode there should be not bitrate option at all because the tool is suppose to rip the original stream without changing it.
Have you tried this tool for blurays? MakeMKV - Make MKV from Blu-ray and DVD

I have Make MKV. It's cool because it's free. However, it's kind of a pain in the ass because you have to pick out the correct title (English, French, ect) and the correct subtitles. There's a much better one that I paid for and it's called DVD Fab. It automatically select the correct title and subtitles. It also does much more than rip to MKV. It does every format you can think of.
As far as me changing the bit rate...the bit rate for was playback to the best of my understanding. This setting was in Jelly Fin, not the software I used to rip the DVD. I'm ripping the DVD via MKV passthru. It takes about 30-minutes to rip a 1080p disk. It takes about 2 hours to rip a 4k Dolby Atmos disk.

A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
