One of my Tv-shows will not play on plex web app

Server Version#: 1.16.3.1402
Player Version#: 4.24.1

One of my tv shows will not play on my plex web app. It loads non-stop. The media will play though on my galaxy s10+ plex app. I tried on google chrome and safari browsers. But will not play.

All my other files play just fine on my laptop on the web app

I can send it once I get home from work tonight. I do not see a get info option while logging into plex web app at work.

I don’t think it is there if I am connected remotely

I see it now. Thanks.

here is the xml file

I mainly use safari at home and only tried on chrome because I was at work. But almost all of my other media is Hevc and works perfectly fine on safari but if this one in particular is hevc x265 while the others are H264. Not sure if there is a big difference between those. Maybe that is the reason why it will not play on my safari browser

If that is the case, I will look at other plex players instead of using the web app

There is no such thing as “HEVC 264”.

H.264 = AVC
H.265 = HEVC

Browsers don’t do HEVC, so transcoding is requested.

okay that makes more sense then. Ya I wasn’t sure if those were the same. Then it seems like safari or chrome will not support H.265 for this particular media file i have

Browsers don’t support H.265/HEVC in general.

downloading the plex app for mac would fix that issue right?

It should, yes.
Notice that you currently can pick among 2 different apps.
‘Plex for Mac’ (download link below)
and Plex Media Player

The former supports syncing media to your mac for offline playback.
The latter supports a 10-foot UI, surround sound passthrough and operation by remote control.
