Just installed Plex HTPC after many years of Kodi and the plugin PlexKodiConnect. But now I want a more dedicated front end system for Plex. I have some files encoded with HLG hdr and the Plex HTPC couldn’t run it without a lot of stuttering. Then I turned off direct play and direct streaming and i…
