Hi everyone! i'm planning to get a Wd My Cloud Ex2 for streaming emby content. Has anyone streamed 4k content to a tv? has the Wd My Cloud Ex2 enough power to stream 4k video?

Hi, if you can make sure that you're always direct playing, then I think you'll be fine, but as soon as any transcoding is required for 4K content, this NAS will be underpowered for that. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Great! thanks Luke!

How do I know if a file will need transcoding? any way to see that in Emby or in any stats?

HI, the stats feature in the video player will indicate if it's direct playing or transcoding, as will the server dashboard.
