Ok, all seems to work now. I shut down PMS, deleted Crypto, rebooted, analyzed all movies, and after a several seconds of reading they play, or at least the problem children I was using to test, as well as a couple of random others play.
It would figure that Windows was the main problem.
But I lay a little blame with Plex as well. You see I have been a Free Plex user for a very long time. When v1.0 was released I ran into this problem. Now v1.0 was released a long time ago. I tried to get an answer to why it would no longer play movies but since I was a free user all I got was silence from the Plex team. So after much hair tearing and curse swearing, I reinstalled .09.1606 just so I could continue to use Plex and it stayed that way for a long time.
I would attempt to try the new releases but ran into the same issue thus I would be forced back to v0.9.1606.
Now that I can access this forum I was quickly able find out what the problem was and apply a fix. Which bothers me some what.
You see, I would have subscribed over a year ago had I been privy to the information I received in this thread. But since I was not allowed to know how to fix my PMS I was forced to make do, thus causing me and most likely many others to rethink if we really wanted to pay.
The only reason I did was because of a recent offer to “Long Time Users” by Plex or I would still be using 0.9.1606.
You guys really need to help out the free users more than you do. It would help out your subscriptions if you did. By giving free users some help you could make subscribers out of many of them. But by ignoring them, you make unhappy users out of all of them, and unhappy users do not subscribe…
