Let me first lament that Plex doesn’t have some type of public bug tracker. That makes me sad. Now on to the bug!
Bug: Plex Media Server thinks that the AppleTV can Direct Stream this media when it really can’t. If I manually choose to “Automatically Transcode” on each individual episode the server transcodes the episode just fine.
Plex Media Server: 1.11.0.4666
Client: AppleTV (3rd Gen) 1.22 (7788)
Media:
