iPad Mini (6th gen) transcoding everything

Server Version#:
Player Version#: 8.4

Wondering if anyone else is running into this…have an iPad Mini 6th gen and it seems to want to transcode everything (even h264 to h264). 10th gen regular iPad (which actually has a lower level chip) will direct play.

On the Mini, it is indicating “No direct play video profile exists for protocol http, with container mp4 and video code hevc”. I swear that these used to direct play…

I figured out why, not sure if this is a Plex bug, but it transcodes when audio output is set to my HomePod Mini’s…

FWIW, Infuse direct plays using HomePods without issue.
