Roku Ultra 2020, aka 4800x, direct play, colors distorted when playing back HEVC, 1080p content on 1080p screen. Applies to both 8-bit and 10-bit packaging of 8-bit content

Every bit of code has cost. :slight_smile: Maybe Plex will make a change, but it’s so obviously a Roku bug that it’s hard not to suggest pressuring them.

Yeah. The Plex Transcoder is derived from FFmpeg. But if you replace it with a baseline ffmpeg a variety of things don’t work.

Some folks have created wrappers around the Plex Transcoder, but I think that would be more difficult here. I don’t think ffmpeg exposes any knobs to control behavior of these headers.

A wrapper could race to modify the remux’d temporary files before the client got them. Probably doable, kinda gross.

Easier to bug Roku. :slight_smile: :smiley:
