it seems apparent to me, that we (you, me, and everyone else) should continue to keep 4k content separate, if for nothing else than to avoid unnecessary transcoding to remote and/or non-4k clients. (even if you CAN transcode, it doesn’t mean you SHOULD)
Yea, I have no desire to have any of my 4K content transcoded by me or my users even though I can support 9 of them simultaneously.
It was the server. Plex Media Server v1.15.4.919
- When transcoding for supported clients, automatically select media based on supported resolution and dynamic range (#9490)
Unfortunately that feature does not appear to work at all based on my testing.
