Plex web: 4.62.1, but started at least 3 versions earlier
PMS beta: 1.23.6.4881, same applies, started at least 5 versions earlier
Hey there guys,
I recently noticed some weird behavior and I’m not sure if it has to do with my setup or with the web app itself. It started some versions back.
When I pause any video for longer than 3-4 minutes in my Plex web app (In the same network as the PMS) the transcoding would finally stop for that video and no transcoding would happen anymore.
As en example: I watch Video XY and pause it at 2:34 (Timestamp doesn’t matter, just an example) and I do other stuff for 15 minutes then. When I resume the video, the video would play only for as long as the transcoder pre-transcoded the video when I left the stream.
As soon as it reaches the pre-transcoded maximum value, the video would stop and no further transcoding would happen.
It seems like it just doesn’t know or cannot re-utilize the transcoder.
This does not happen on other devices (Or I didn’t notice yet) and does not happen under a specific amount (If I pause the video for only 30 seconds there’s no issue with resuming).
Hope this was well explained and hoping for any pointers 
Cheers boys!
