Server Version#:1.43.0.10346
Player Version#:1.112.0.359-0d79a49f [windows] 2025.30.0(966828550) [Android] 10.30.5.4094 (1b82b1be) [FireTv]
I had a complete working setup of plex which was working fine without any issues
Recent updates seems to have messed up how plex processes bandwidth control
The above screenshot shows 3 different client playing the same 4k file
1st Device - FireTv - Works without any issues and directplay 4k works
2nd Device - Windows Plex Player applied the remote bitrate settings even though its local
No idea why it treats it as remote but it still shows LAN in both Plex and Tautulli
as i have configured the IP as LAN networks (I have my tailscale app disabled but still plex picks up ip from tailscale)
The device is 4k HDR compatible display and direct play used to work in the past with 4k HDR movies (tried old movies as well, still the same so not an issue with the files)
There is no quality setting for original streaming even though i have direct play and direct stream enabled amd also have set player to play at maximum settings
The quality if stuck at 1080p 8Mbps
This is my remote stream limit for bitrate i have set in my server
3rd Device (Motorola Edge 30 ultra) A 4K HDR compatible mobile device. Used to work with 4K HDR movies but now the same issue. Even though its connected the same network as my Unraid server, it shows my WAN ip and treats it as remote stream (i had treat WAN ip as LAN option enabled)
In all above devices, direct play should have worked (it was previously) but now its not working as expected
Nothing weird in logs
after i set bitrate to maximum in server, direct play starts to work again
Help me fix this issue plex team
