Hello
I am new to Plex. I have my Plex Server installed. I have created a directory structure with half a dozen folders and .mkv files. I have created Libraries and linked my folders. I can open my Libraries and see the graphic and notes about my ripped content.
I have even played a number of my movies with the Plex Web player (windows 11). And the movies play, sometimes, more like once…
So what gives? I go to my system tray, right click on the Plex icon, and select Open Plex. Yep. There’s the Plex Web app…
I select my Movies library. Yep. There’s my 3 movies.
I click the play button on Hot August Day. Nothing happens. I click the hyperlink below the movie icon. Now I get the screen that shows the database info about my movie. There is a Play button. I click it. Nothing happens.
Near the bottom of the screen is another play button (as well as a start over, loop, pause, etc.) I click the play arrow. I hear the soundtrack. But there is no video.
I search around, but there is no “show video” button that I can find.
I watched part of the movie on the Plex Web player. I know it worked. I can play the video in VLC. This is a crufty old 480i video with very basic audio.
Ditto for Labor Day and Sheryl Crow and Pride and Prejudice.
This is brain dead. I am obviously missing something. All these videos have played in Plex Web. Now none of them will play the video, only the audio.
I have Googled and YouTubed. Believe me, I have tried to figure this out…
What am I doing wrong?
Please be specific w.r.t the Plex UI. Which control, where on the screen, do what with it?
Thanks.
