I have some issues with local transcoding. when I leave the player paused then come back later hours later it will start transcoding. if I want it to stop I have to restart the player. with out restarting plex, playing the same or different tv show doesn’t change anything it will still transcode
the log says Direct Play is disabled but i can play the file fine normally
