Hi!
Been playing with a script to kill paused transcoded sessions after X time and noticed something wierd as direct streams also got killed.
Plex states that stream is transcoding when both video and audio is direct streaming.
Pretty sure it was not like this before?
Running 1.7.5 and no subtitles involved.
Even if both audio and video are Direct Streamed, the Plex transcoder is involved in this process.
Technically, what you have there is a “Remux”. But Plex Web doesn’t differentiate.
Plex technically only has 2 states. Direct Play or Not Direct Played. The Not can include
copy / copy
convert / copy
copy / convert
convert / convert
In your photo, “Direct Stream” means copy. If you are looking for actual transcoded streams, you’ll need to look further than just if the transcoder is involved.
