Direct Play HEVC

Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935
Player Version#: 3.2.20 From Windows Store

When streaming HEVC content to my Win10 Desktop Direct Play doesn’t seem to be functioning. I still see my server under heavy load. I have the codec installed from the Windows Store and I can play the movie via the Windows Movie app if I put the file on my machine locally. image

It seems that downloading the " Plex for Windows" from the Plex Website fixed the issue. It’s very confusing how there’s the Windows store app as well. Why so many?

The Windows Store app was discontinued and removed from the store quite some time ago.
