I just use Universal Media Server now and the built in media-browser on my Samsung TV. It's a bit janky but it works.

I've tried using Plex before and while the UI is nice, they don't seem to be able to write a video transcoder that doesn't have massive stuttering in it.

It's using ffmpeg. It's limited by the CPU/GPU on the server. You can adjust the options to have it encode faster or higher quality.

Yeah, I'm it's solvable if dug under the covers and spent hours tweaking and running between the PC in the study and the TV in the living room, but Universal Media Server just works.
