My server keeps getting bogged down transcoding for no reason because clients have a low default setting for internet streaming. They are all capable of streaming original quality, and since I’ve been converting a lot of my files to x265, the transcoded 720p version ends up having a higher bitrate t…

That does not work with watch together sessions, where I run in the problem. I have a separate 4k section for solo viewing because of that issue.

Please see my screenshot above of notifiarr. You can set specific rules. The one I use is for video transcode in 4K. As for the message you can customise, but something along the lines of “your session has been killed because 4k transcoding is not allowed. Please check your settings or use “play ver…

That sucks. I rarely use watch together so I didn’t notice. Is that a known issue or something? For the most part, it works for me too. The Plex client chooses which version to play.

Gotcha! I didn’t realise that you were the same person who posted the notifiarr settings a few days ago.

No worries. Hope this helps somehow. I gave up hope waiting for Plex to fix stuff that’s been pending for god knows how long. If I want things fixed I’ll have to do it myself. You’d think that for a piece of paid software a big issue such as this would’ve been resolved ages ago. There’s another pe…

Well I am not sure this solution works very well. (But without any documentation, I have no idea exactly what it is supposed to do.) I have started seeing the modal appear, so I guess it is enabled for me. It offers to upgrade the connection when it is already showing the playback as Direct stream…

Definitely not the behaviour i’ve been seeing, is this on a fire stick / android TV? I’ve had no issues navigating after ignoring the prompt

I was seeing this on an old (2019 I think) Shield. The buttons on the shield remote and my sony remote both stopped working and the only way to get them back was to restart playback. It is hard to check as most of the time all my stuff direct plays.

Interesting, I’ve just been able to reproduce this, but it seems to only be if you press back to cancel the prompt. I can still play / pause with the button on my remote, but I can’t do down / up etc to view chapters etc
