When watching from TV via DLNA, many directory options are displayed, how can I remove unnecessary ones?

You cannot, I’m afraid.

Thanks for the answer. But this is terribly inconvenient.

Plex has I believe virtually an app for every platform. Why on earth use DLNA. If anything it’ll become obsolete very soon. Anything we can do to help you move from that?

Plex for Vidaa (Hisense) stuttering/lagging

Symptom: When playing 4K content, there is significant stuttering (approximately once every 3 seconds). This issue occurs when using the Plex for VIDAA app on my HISENSE PL1 television. However, the following situations do not exhibit the same problem: Using the HISENSE’s built-in browser Using my PC’s browser Using the Plex app on my LG TV Note that all devices are connected via an Ethernet cable in a local network. To assist with troubleshooting, I enabled the option in the Plex app to se…

But it works fine via DLNA. I simply have no choice at the moment. DLNA only.

That seems like a codec issue, and yes, you would have issues especially if you do not have a Plex pass. You don’t have a streamer lying around? Even a firestick or Roku? Vidaa and smartcast (Vizio) are the worst OS on the planet.

Judging by the messages from the topic that I indicated above, this is a problem of PLEX itself for ViDAA or the VIDAA system.

Not necessarily as I had actually read through the discourse which was centered around a transcode for AVI vs direct play judging by the platform it was playing from. Chances are you might be right, but speaking as some one who has owned Hisense, Vizio and LG TVs, the engine support for the former 2 is very inferior to the latter even for built in apps , which prompted me to use an external streamer. In addition, there ‘could’ be optimizations which are inherent in the OS which wouldn’t be accessible to 3rd party apps like Plex with those 2 OS’s but which can be available through DLNA which would take advantage of native player, ergo my comment.

To round it off, I was simply trying to find the path of least resistance for you rather than entering into a debate. Either have it out with Plex regarding things which may not happen anytime soon or just switch to something that would give you infinitely better quality of experience just not with Plex alone but with other streaming apps as well. Cheers mate.
