I found a problem in Plex/web which prevents resolution/quality switching after playback has started.
Regarding the Roku players, I experience no such pixelated behavior as shown below (picture of playback from my Roku Ultra - 4800x
When you say “pixelated”, the first thing that comes to mind is the playback quality setting in the Roku app . Remember, in Plex, the players set the quality – not the server. The servers can only limit bandwidth utilization.
Here is my current playback.
Here is from the same file, transcoded down to 20 Mbps.
I do think it appropriate to move this discussion to its own thread.
This isn’t a transcoder problem as much as it’s something more Roku-specific.
