Playback quality defaulting to SD despite on both TV and phone

yea man, it’s too tedious to look at different networking parameters in router configuration.

Hi again Folks
After much research and so much stuffing around that I cannot believe I just fell across the solution to my issue and there is already at least one thread here dealing with it!

One word: NORDVPN.
Even though I am not running the VPN app there is still a Service called NordVPN-service which was starting automatically when I boot my PC. I was not aware of the service until I just happened to check by chance! As soon as I stopped it my PC and PMS became visibIe locally. YAY!!!

Worth checking if you run a VPN I guess
:grinning: :grinning:

Neither my VPN nor my HyperV adapters connect automatically but still the playback is indirect.

@tom80H @derkleia Yayy! Problem finally solved by just simply removing all the HyperV dependencies like completely removing pi node and docker (you might not necessarily remove those to get a work-around but that’s what I did as I thought they rely on HyperV and might cause issues in future) from my pc including the adapter itself from the network adapters (in dev. mgr.). Why the hell didn’t I think of it before!? :man_facepalming:t2::sweat_smile:

Well done!
Seems it’s also these background or related processes that we are not aware of that can impact Plex. I had no idea Nord used a Service that ran all the time.
All good now!
