Hello, I have a laptop ethernet connected to my router. I have a MybookDuo 6TB Hard Drive ethernet connected to my router. I want to force direct play for all movies. It seems that with my direct play settings enabled, the video is going through my laptop to my Samsung TV (also ethernet connected…

I too am experiencing issues with the latest build of PMP on RPi3+. It was working perfectly for a the first few hours after install, direct playing virtually all of my media and live TV. The our of no where it just stopped and now insists on transcoding everything. that is not H264. That means eve…

I assume this is the only problem video/series, or its it ALL content ? that particular video shows framerate: PAL which is a european format/framerate you might try enable display mode switching and/or deinterlace enable on the first screenshot. on the web player, not sure what to suggest, since…

Still haing the same problem. Even if I’m watching an movie I can directly play. When I play a movie or TV episode. It will direct play, because I have the right settings. Then a few min after it will start to buffer. I check. I have the same settings as before but now the subtitles are transcoding.…

You need to change the option Burn Subtitles to Image Formats Only.

I can’t imagine paying for a service that forces you to work as a makeshift developer in order to use it. I am paying for fiber internet and an expensive 4k TV, I don’t want any buffering or burning of my CPU. Some files direct play, others don’t. Seems to be random. I have spend at least 10 hours …

[image] Zipur: Some files direct play, others don’t. Seems to be random. That doesn’t seem likely since the Plex Media Server goes through a decision tree of sorts to determine if it will Direct Play, Direct Stream, or Transcode based on codec, container, subtitle type (if used) and the targe…

I found the problem. I took a look at your audio compatibility and saw that DTS-HD is not supported with the mkv container. So I ran it through BOX4 3 and changed it to AC3. I took a look at the dashboard and after removing the image based VobSub subtitle it direct streams the video. When playing wi…
