Again, I ask for logs.
2 Mbps is the PlexPass bandwidth limit when no direct connection is available. If this happens on a local LAN, likely causes are:
- Firewall ports
- multiple subnets incorrectly configured.
- LAN IP address range not RFC-1918 compliant.
- plex.direct private domain being blocked by DNS/router.
Reasons to transcode: The player cannot (due to settings or media itself) accept the file “AS IS”
