4k hevc media that was direct playing is now automatically transcoding to 1080p after update

What thread are you referring to @sa2000 – what about my issue? I reported it here before @BigWheel closed it, we are pushing almost a month now, where I can’t see ANY 4k content… (again, all this 4k content was FINE before these updates, and now everything transcodes to 1080p)

Here’s my thread: FIRESTICK 4k "4k playback is not supported on this device" for LOCAL MEDIA!

Would sincerely appreciate the dev team focusing on the CORE of the Plex player, and not adding other things like “Live TV”, or at least add it in two separate branches/versions, or split the player all together, most of the recent updates it seems is “New” functionality being added that breaks older things.

For example, I reported external subtitles on a file forcing a transcode of a h264 file, and the workaround being that I have to MANUALLY DISABLE subtitltes BEFORE starting a file, and THEN enable them in the player for it to work, that bug has been there for a year, with no sight of it even being acknowledged.

Anyways, would appreciate this 4k thing fixes asap, or at least a notice posted saying you are aware in situation X, Y, Z, so we arent left in the dark… especially as Plex Pass customers that have supported you for years.

Thanks!
