Im not familiar with issues like that. Ive been using my pc to stream things an watch tv shows without issue. I am using windows atm though so that may be why. Not sure if this is an issue on Linux or if you’re refering to a different OS.
The main problem is most streaming services will only allow 1080p in browser, some even only allowing 1080p in Edge and will downgrade the resolution in other browsers. You basically have to use a smart TV app to get 4k… So you’re basically down to physical media or sailing the high seas if you want to be able to take full advantage of your TV.

Piracy thrives when they make it harder to get the same thing legally.
Fuck their bullshit :)

I supoose that is a drawback if you want to view content in 4k. 1080p still being the standard is good enough for me but i do see your point.
