I posted about this here - i’m seeing streams not starting despite transcoding seeming to happen https://forums.plex.tv/t/force-higher-remote-quality/195464/56
The beta release of PMS now has disabled video transcoding - so thats interesting
Unsure of how it works as when i enable it the video just never starts instead of forcing the client to accept non transcoded media
Edit: So its really odd - when you enable it the status on the server says its transcoding but nothing ever starts on my device - Hardware transcoding seems to become disabled and instead the cpu gets hit with a transcode that doesn’t get sent to the device
