4K Transcoding to HD 1080p on 4K TV/Projector

Hi,

Does any one else having this issues? I have a Roku Ultra player and 4K projector. Plex is transcoding it to HD 1080p, It is doing the same thing on my 4K Samsung TV too.

I have tried 4 different movies and they are doing the same thing. Can someone help.

Cheers

I don’t know why it is deciding to do that but have you forced Original Quality in the playback settings?

I think this is indicating the video is HDR “smpte2084” and the device isn’t connected to a HDR display

video.colorTrc limitation applies: smpte2084 != bt709|bt470m|bt470bg|smpte170m|smpte240m|bt2020-10|bt2020-10 [list]

You have another problem I noticed from your screen shot though

hardware transcoding: enabled, but no hardware decode accelerator found

Also check the Roku Ultra video settings (in addition to the Plex app settings).

Hi Banzailnstitute,

Yes i have.

Hi JaysPlex7,

Thank you for the reply. The main Room I have connect the Roku Ultra to the LG Soundbar,

and the LG Soundbar to Projector

The Master B-Room,

Roku Premiere (4620X) connected to Samsung UHD 4K TV and the TV is connected to Samsung 5.1 Surround system.

Regarding the Hardware transcoding: I have 2 graphic card, not sure why plex see 3 graphic card. RX 580 and GeForce 210 and I always select Auto.

So I am puzzle…
