I’m going on record right now that I assume this is a Qt-related issue and either cannot or will not be fixed, but I’m reporting it anyway:
I have two 4k monitors, each running at 3840x2160 with 150% scaling. So technically speaking, moving a window from one monitor to the other SHOULD result in no rescaling of window contents, but that’s exactly what Plex for Windows is doing: when I have the client window on my second monitor, it seems to be ignoring scaling settings altogether and resizing itself as if the scaling on my secondary monitor was set to 100% instead of 150%. This makes everything really, really small.
Since it uses Chromium, I was hoping I could simply hit Ctrl-+ and increase the zoom in the window, but this doesn’t do anything.
If I go into the properties for the shortcut and manually change the scaling so that it’s set to “System (Enhanced),” it sizes it properly on the second monitor, but makes everything enormous on the first monitor.
This image is a composite of two screenshots I took—the top one is of the Plex window on the first monitor, the second is of the same app having been moved over to the second monitor. It’s exactly the same view and nothing has been clicked or changed other than moving from one monitor to the other.
I should point out that this issue does NOT happen with PlexHTPC. Only Plex for Windows. I would prefer not having to use the HTPC version as its mouse navigation leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Anybody have any ideas, or am I just out of luck?
Server Version#: N/A (it does it even when I’m signed out and not using my local server at all)
Player Version#: Multiple, currently running 1.30.1.2115-81e1fc3f
