Hi All,
Got my plex up and running for a few weeks and have also installed PlexPy on my NAS for a greater look into plex and what is doing / streaming.
All my movies are 1080p x264 mkvs and I have my remote quality set to 4Mbps 720p as I have a 20Mbps upload which can more than handle the 4Mbps.
How ever for some reason it looks like Plex is transcoding into 480p despite the device also being set to 4Mbps 720p, here are some details for an example from PlexPy. Any suggestions as to why it’s going right down to 480p?
