So, not sure which part of my setup is the bottleneck here. Weird thing is when i add the samba share in kodi without using the plex add on, the file seems to play ok. It works mostly really fine, but with some heavy 4K files with HD audio, the audio starts stuttering after a while, not much but some micro-stutters every few minutes, enough to drive me crazy. All in direct play of course, and everything is cabled with ethernet. I have a library of both 1080p files for remote viewing and 4K for local viewing (with a Xiaomi Mi Box 3 using Kodi and the plex add on). I use Dietpi with Samba, Deluge, and mainly Plex Media Server. External 3.0 USB HDD 4To, with a USB Y to add a power source.

I’ve been using diet pi for a couple months now, really enjoying the simplicity and efficiency of this distribution.
