I was having 4K HDR videos being transcoded down to 1080p since the last PMS update. Once I set ‘Limit remote stream bitrate’ to no limit it direct plays again. Console reported bandwidth limit exceeded which tipped me off to this.
Both devices are on the same network.
Started happening the same day my cron job updated plex.
WAN bandwidth does not indicate the movie is going out then back into local LAN.
