Let’s close off with the key Indirect vs Direct point here. Indirect works by design when Direct doesn’t. You have (as PP) 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps otherwise. Asking plex.tv to funnel all the traffic of all users through its servers isn’t possible nor is it the right thing to do. Indirect keeps you working, albeit minimally like audio / low bitrate video, in a pinch.
For Direct and it’s performance problem: Solved.
The silly green/red icon flipping but it still working: Engineering is working on the one-stop-shopping fix for everyone. bing-bang-done.
