Hello everyone…Virgin poster here, please use lube… 😉

I am currently having an issue with all media created after the update, I am getting an ‘Error code: s1001 (Network)’ when trying to play media on the browser on my server and the TV. If I goto settings on the individual file and select ‘force direct play’ on the TV the media plays fine, all media created before the update plays fine. Any ideas? TIA.

Enabling - ‘Enable HEVC video Encoding (experimental)’ fixed the issue.

Interesting. This guy has the same s1001 error and also has to do with codecs.

The streams are buffered though ffmpeg by Theadfin and all channels of the playlist play fine in VLC. The channel listing is also recognized properly by Plex. However, when I try to initiate a stream in Plex itself, I’m just getting …

Maybe there is a problem downloading codecs from the server.
