Hi there,

I apologize in advance if this topic is in the wrong place. I seem to be having issues with judders/stuttering like the 3:2 pulldown in PLEX and cannot find any results whilst using the new Plex AF app latest version.

First off I have a film that is encoded in H2.64 in 24fps mkv. I am running a HTPC and have set my display refresh rate to 24fps. When I do this my projector registers 24fps. If I play a film using MPC-HC is is brilliant. If I play the film in Plex Media Player it is brilliant in TV mode. If I use the latest Desktop AF I get a 3:2 pull down judder that is noticeable every 10 seconds.

I cannot get rid of this problem using the Desktop AF plex app. Upon reading forum’s they have discontinued PLEX media player. If I use PLEX webite version I get same results. If I obviously use a fire-stick and plex app on the pojector then it works ok.

But I want to use my HTPC to play this.

Is there a way I can force plex to use 24fps. Its almost like Plex is running everything in 60fps…

Please for the life of me somebody help me this is really annoying as I cannot play a judder free movie on the projector screen.

Then continue using PMP, it’s not going anywhere, Plex basically backpedaled and said they would support it with new PMS versions but not any new features necessarily.

Yes but this is only until Jan 2020 then it will be discontinued. And I cannot download it on there site anymore.

No, it is NOT being discontinued, Plex has undone that decision.

You can download from here:

I repeat, PMP is NOT going anywhere. You can re-read the updated blog entry: https://www.plex.tv/blog/desktop-af/

EDIT: So, this next section used to talk about how we were ending support for Plex Media Player in six months, and with it, effectively ending support for HTPCs as a platform. We planned this with the best intentions. tl;dr, modern streaming devices provide a better experience for most people (the vast majority of you have already switched), and not spending energy maintaining PMP would mean we can focus more on making that experience better for everyone. Well, let’s just say that although their numbers are few, the PMP army speaks loudly, in mostly civilized voices, with the occasional conspiracy theory peppered in. So, we hear you, and we’re adjusting our plans a bit:

  • We will keep PMP in TV mode working as it is today and will fix serious issues which impact the product for the foreseeable future.
  • We will continue to invest in our player technology on streaming devices both to increase media compatibility, as well as to bring more “HTPC” features there (e.g. video zoom modes). We will also do a better job at communicating their capabilities, as it’s pretty hard to get an accurate picture of that. Look for more information on that soon!
  • We are now actively investigating the best way to continue supporting HTPCs as a platform.

Thanks for all your feedback, and for being awesome! Now on to the pithy conclusion of this blog post…
