Glad I found this chain as I have opened a topic about issues with 4K media. {4K Streaming PMS Reviews} You see this is almost 2020 and 4K content is very common. So when I try to play 4K I get constant buffering. Some say I need more powerful server - well I do: HP G9 Proliant 20 Core 2xE5-2660v3 2.6ghz and going by this chain’s opinion I should be able to transcode 4K since I have a server that can handle it. Well the server can handle it with an average of 87% CPU utilization but I am still getting buffering on my clients - all of them i.e. Windows, TV, Web. Some clients may have TVs/Displays that are 1080. What would happen to streaming 4K to them?
So if the high end Servers aren’t enough the question is can PLEX even pull off the Transcode=OFF solution suggested here for 4K content. I hope so. I mean even setting a server to ORIGINAL and client side to Direct Play still doesn’t do it for me. I have wired connection at home and plenty of bandwidth to handle 4K. You don’t want people going into registry or dealing with codes.
Can the plex team make it work? That would be greatly appreciated as I’d like to enjoy my PLEX for Holidays
