Having problem with buffering on LG TV

[matt20687]

Server Version#: 4.22.3
Player Version#: LG WebOS 3.8.0 | Plex for LG 4.29.0

I have a problem that I am at a loss with.
I have a PC running WIndows 10 as a plex server, on all other TV’s in the house we can watch absolutely fine but when we watch on my LG TV most of the time we have to give up watching as it keeps buffering, oddly I have watched films that are over a couple of hours long and not had a problem and we have watched something that was fine yesterday but refuses to stop buffering today!

I have run the logs and I am not experienced enough to try and pick them apart. To be honest, there doesn’t really look like there’s a lot of anything useful in there… that I can see at least.

Any help would be greatly welcome. If you need anything from me just let me know

Sorry here is the log file

Plex Media Server.log

The video is transcoding for some reason (look at the lines beginning with MDE:).

However, I can’t tell why the video is transcoding.

Check the LG Plex app settings. Make sure both Direct Play and Direct Stream are enabled and Local/Remote/Online Quality are all set to Original.

I had all of the settings on exactly this when the logs were run as far as I am aware.

I have set back and will try again.

I found a free months trial of Plex premium so I now have that on my Plex server, I tried hardware acceleration but that’s not made any difference, I tried turning direct play and stream off on my TV and it’s worse to be honest.

I forgot to say, my spec of the computer running the Plex media server is:

I have tried it again after checking the settings and it buffered within 5 minutes of starting.

I have attached fresh logs.
