  • I know I may come off bad with this question but I ran into it a while back and felt like a fool.

    What show were you trying to watch, and does that show come in UHD.

    When I had it I would stream to the TV so it may be different but not all shows and movies Netflix has comes in 4K.

    It may all not give you that option because the resolution of the M3 MacBook Air is 2560x1664 and not actually 4k (3840 x 2160) I understand the pixel density changes things but the native resolution is what I am referencing. Unfortunately Netflix is not going to stream a higher resolution than the display natively supports from my understanding. May not hurt to hit up support with Netflix to see they can do anything to get it to stream 4K. Maybe they’ll even refund your money.



  • Since you are against using plex even with using it only locally I would suggest you look into the Jellyfin clients support. Specifically look at each client device documentation and take a look at what audio and video codex they natively support. If there is one they both support then I suggest you do some testing and stream a movie or show that is encoded with that specific format. This will let you know if it will work across both clients whether it’s a stream issue hardware issue or Wi-Fi issue.

    This will prevent transcoding that can cause audio sync issues.

    Edit - if that works then I suggest you convert you library to that format.
