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…

I’ve been doing some testing here and I now agree with you. I was wrong. I was always led to believe the resolutions were limits too. Didn’t we used to have a 1080p/4M and a 720p/4M setting in the player? My testing files were: File 1: 1966 kbps HEVC+AAC (1807 kbps video + 159 kbps audio + 2 kbp…

The post above goes to the announcement and here is the support page for this feature: Playback Quality Suggestions . We still have to finish getting this out across …

While I thank you for your efforts, I hate to be negative, but I think Plex is going in the opposite direction they should be going. The correct path is NO SETTINGS, just like every streaming platform, everything should be done automatically in the background. Instead, we have now not only MORE s…
