So I am trying to figure out why you are attacking me … when what I assert you now admit after testing is true…
I’m not attacking you. This isn’t personal, it’s a difference of opinion about the issue you’re pointing out. I think there is a misunderstanding here. I am not part of the official (all volunteer opensource) OpenPHT team. I’m just a guy who enjoys the OpenPHT project so I volunteer my time here in the forums because I want this project to continue. But I don’t work here, man.
A few months ago, the official team had a volunteer graciously providing support here in the forums, but he’s since passed away. I’ve just been trying to keep some of that support alive. I don’t give every thread my initial full attention, which is my prerogative. As is yours to dissent, reaffirm your position, or to just ignore it all together, but this isn’t personal.
With trailers on… plex will not sent the correct movie stream requested.
The only way to request a version of the movie with trailers on is the ios app using the … button and selecting play version… then selecting a bitrate which is then ignored.
2: is by seletecing a version using PMP / PHT gui … pmp will put up a query window after pressing play if a movie has multiple versions available when Trailers are set to OFF on that client… PMP essentially the same although there is a separate play button in PMP with added functionality one of which is stream selection which again doesn’t work with trailers enabled.
Yes, there is a problem with the queue build when trailers are on. Maybe someone with more time or intimate knowledge of the PMS API might want to weigh in here, but I still think it’s a PMS issue.
The original post also talked about VC1 issues but nowhere do I assign a source of the trailer issue
I inferred that from here:

If I turn off trailers, it still ignores the play version from the iOS remote app, but when selecting play on the openPHT it asks which version and plays correctly
This is likely a bug in openPHT not plex server
As for VC1, you may need a license installed for it to direct play.
Yes the backend transcoder have changed and SOME of the code and the front end player has changed in PMP but I believe (without proof since I don’t have source) that they probably recycled plenty of the logic code for the GUI and functions apart from the actual players / decoders which are in fact other open source projects themselves if I believe…
Maybe. Seems less likely than an API issue though.
THANK for CONFIRMING that its broken on your end as well…
You are quite welcome. 
I have a couple threads already where I bring up the broken trailer logic and as per plex’s new SOP… they are ignored…
Yeah, they have no official ticket process. You’re best bet is have a ninja pickup the issue and take it to Plex or post in the latest PMS PreRelease thread directly about the issue. It’s lame they ask for all this community support but don’t have an official ticket system for issues. If you still want to open an issue with OpenPHT, you’ll want to do it on the Github issue page.
