Rpi with Libreelec. Then with all the add-ons you need.

I have a Pi4B but with a m2 drive as the OS instead of the sdcard which I highly recommend due to the amount of read/write downloading files does.

A pi4 should have 0 trouble (via ethernet) doing anything you are saying.

From what I could tell your setup is internet -> pi4 -> appletv. If the pi & applet are on Wifi that would be a huge issue. The most any wifi can realistically do is 270mbps and that is when you are next to the damn thing.
As let’s say you are streaming 1080p content which requires around 20-50mbps. Router to pi (20mbps) + pi to router (20mbps) + router to Apple TV 20mbps), so you’d already be pushing 60mbps at best internally all over wifi.

Temporarily add cables to everything if possible or move the pi onto a cable as a minimum. then you will cut down on the back-and-forth it needs to do over wifi so then your router can dedicate all its bandwidth to sending the data to the appletv.

If it’s all on cables already then I guess it’s a filesystem issue, as your not using a SSD but using a SD card. Run iostat via command line while streaming and see if there is any big “iowait” values. I’d there is then your sd card is not keeping up with the total bandwidth

I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org (jeena.net)

I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....
