I’m 90% sure an rpi can’t handle the Bitrate needed to watch a 4K video.

  You can't just throw files on there. You should make sure the clients you're connecting support the codecs and formats natively and at that point the pi is basically acting as a NAS. It should play 4k fine like that if it has the bandwidth necessary.

    Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I don’t think the pi itself has the internal bandwidth necessary.

      The rPI moved the NIC off the USB bus so is actuy1gbps which is plenty for even 4k and it has hardware x264/x265 so should playback fine.

        Also most 4K videos on internet (except your recorded HQ file by camera or latest phone) even below 100Mbps so it's fine. Even in UHD Blu-ray, it's 128Mbps max.
