If the automatic configuration is causing you trouble I tend to prefer establishing a manual port forward on your router (you can find a link explaining the basics of that in the troubleshooting support article). The troubleshooting article linked above is a good starting point to double-check this setup. That means there’s something wrong with the remote access setup – this can range from an issue in your Plex configuration over the setup of your router down to an issue with your ISP.

The Enhanced Video Player cannot be used when Automatically Adjust Quality is enabled Quality: 1920 x 1080 31 Mbps (some movies even get 70+ Mbps) When I watch at home where the NAS server is located, these are:

He downloaded the Plex app a few days ago so he has the latest version. My friend’s 4K 5th gen AppleTV plays movie at very slow speed.
