So someone can help me understand this. My source file is a 1.5GB, 1 hr file encoded with H.264 and AAC. I’m trying to play it on my Windows 10 Laptop Chrome browser using Plex desktop. It REFUSES to direct stream or direct play. If I select original quality it just hangs!! If I select 1080p 8 Mbps it transcodes and plays it. No way my original video is more than 3Mbps.
So why does Plex refuse to direct play on my browser ? It definitely supports H.264 and AAC
