These are problems you've been having with Plex?
I use it daily, and have no trouble with either the macOS web player (in Safari), nor the Apple TV app, in general.
That said, I do sometimes have trouble with certain media acting a bit squirrely when it tries to auto-convert them—in particular, one show we've been watching recently we had to start, then quickly scrub back to the beginning or it wouldn't play sound.
Then I re-encoded it manually using Handbrake and replaced the wonky copy with that, and it's been fine ever since. (And, of course, since I'm using a 2011 Mac mini to actually run Plex, there are some shows I have to preset to optimize or it won't be able to keep up with playback, but that's just the kind of thing one has to expect with this sort of setup.)
