Certain Plex Shows Buffering

Thanks for the response!

I got a bit of a kick out of the Plex Dance. I guess it has to be called something. I did that and it didn’t fix the issue.

I had him turn direct play off and then he could play the file, but the quality dropped significantly. I don’t see why he can’t direct play an mp4 file. It’s also not ideal because it stresses my CPU fairly hard. I wouldn’t be able to do two 1080p transcodes at once. So that would make it where only one person could watch my server at a time. Windows should know how to play those files by default unless I’m crazy and forgetting something?

I dream that hardware acceleration on AMD GPUs will come soon.

Anyways, here is a copy of my buddies Plex Log:

Here is a copy of my server log in case it would be useful:
