Download Transcoding Limited to 1

You previously shared that the transcode limit for downloading is expected to be 2.

I wonder if something has changed. I notice a few odd maybe-related things when I try to download multiple items to a single iPhone (including TestFlight latest).

(Hardware Transcoding is Disabled, Maximum simultaneous video transcode is Unlimited.)

In the iPhone app:

  • Both downloads appear, Queued.
  • One is Transcoding and showing progress.
  • One is Waiting.

On Plex Web:

  • Only the second download is visible.
  • The first download doesn’t appear in Activity/Dashboard/Conversions at all. It is invisible.
  • The second download appears in Activity/Conversions, Waiting.

When the first item finishes Transcoding, it then appears in the Plex Web Activity menu as a Media Download, while it’s downloading, and the second item becomes invisible in Plex Web.
