Hey Guys -
I watch much of my media on the same system Plex Server (PMS) is installed upon - mostly from the web interface. When doing so, though; Plex is transcoding the media. Titles that play with hardly any resource usage in VLC use lots of resources for PlexTranscode when playing in Plex Web. How can I get it to directly play? Below are my settings which I’d think would be related. Do any logs tell why it decides to transcode by chance?
General Information
- Plex Server: 1.12.1.4885
- Windows 10 x64
- Local IP is statically set to 192.168.0.25
- Accessing Web via Chrome
- Have issue if I access Plex Web via 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.25, or custom domain name I use and have custom 3rd party cert installed for
