Server Version#: 1.18.9.2578
Player Version#: 1.6.5.1097-3bb9dc68
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun
Guide/Lineup name:
Using XMLTV?: Yes
I have my Live TV set up at my house but whenever I stream it remotely, no matter what my remote settings are in Plex, every single channel defaults to 720p/2 Mbps. This causes far more buffering (I presume the server is doing the compression) than I want and I have plenty of upstream bandwidth, so I want to disable conversion entirely and just have it play at its original quality.
Is there a setting for that somewhere?
