It seems Plex on my new Samsung TV cannot play any form of 4K content. I have tried half a dozen different 4K files with various codecs/containers/etc.
File:
Mode: Transcode, speed: 0.0, throttled
Container: mkv > mp4
Protocol: dash
Video:
Codec: h264 > h264
Resolution: 3840x2160 > 1920x1080
Bitrate: 12 Mbps > 2147483.6 Mbps (Integer max value??? Curious.)
FPS: 23.976 > 23.976
Aspect: 1.78
Audio:
Codec: eac3 > aac
Bitrate: 448 > 774
Channels: 5.1 >
Server:
Location: LAN
URI: http://192.168.50.50:32400
Decision:
Reasons:
Cannot direct play with protocol: http, codec: h264. Reason: Video steam exceeded resolution of 1920x1080
Cannot direct stream with protocol: dash, codec: h264. Reason: Video steam exceeded resolution of 1920x1080
App cannot direct play this item. Direct play is disabled.
Direct play and stream are allowed. Maximum H.264 level set to none or 4.2 doesn’t help (Recommended is 4.1). Disable bitrate limiting checked. Subtitles off.
