New Vizio SmartCast preview still doesnt play 4k videos

I can’t play any kind of 4k content via the new preview app, it always converts it to 1080p. I have direct stream enabled and quality set to original. TV vizio M-50 Chipset SX7A(-1).

I had this exact issue with the previous app which I hopped would be fixed in an update.

The app doesn’t support VTT subtitles. Turn off subtitles and see if it will direct play.

I turned off subtitles and it doesnt play 4K still

In the app there is an option to send logging info yo your server. Play the file again without subtitles, let it play for 30 seconds. Get me the log from your server. Plex Media Server Logs | Plex Support

Here you go. Thanks for your help!

I don’t see any logging information from the TV. Are you sure you’ve enabled the setting? Also are you sure you’ve enabled the preview app?
