Used it for 2 weeks, shows, movies kept buffering even though it's supposed to use BitTorrent. Switched back to popcorn time, no issues since.

Is it a fork of something? I'm surprised it's coming out of the blue

Never heard of Streamio before, but from the FAQ: > We run non-intrusive ads occassionally (Their typo, not mine.) So it's like Plex, but, with ads in it.

They state: "While the Raspberry Pi 5 is fully capable of smooth 4K playback, Raspberry Pi 4 will not be able to play 4K content due to hardware limitations." This likely depends on the codec. The Pi 4’s BCM2711 SoC, unlike the BCM2712 in the Pi 5, has hardware support for H.265 (HEVC) up to 4Kp60. However, the Pi 5 can still support H.265 (HEVC) up to 4Kp60 through software-based decoding, thanks to its more powerfu…

That’s incorrect: Both have hardware support for decoding H265 up to 4K. The difference is H264: the Pi4 still has a hardware decoder (up to FullHD) while the Pi5 doesn’t and will use software decoding as it’s more than fast enough. As it is software, there’s no resolution limit.
