Server Version#: Windows 10 - 1.23.6.4881 Player Version#: Plex Web - 4.62.1 “This server is not powerful enough to convert video” for an SD (MPEG4) AVI file I do not want video conversion, why would it get triggered for an old-fashioned SD AVI file? Meanwhile, this message occurs quite often, s…

I have the same issue with the AVI files, I transcode / stream 4k HDR content but in the same hardware. CPU: i7 2600K Version 1.24.1.4931 Plex web Version 4.59.2 Plex Media Server Logs_2021-09-02_14-48-09.zip (938.6 KB)

The i7-2600K should have a PassMark score of approx. 8500. That’s not enough to transcode a 4K video (neither SDR not HDR).

But it works. The issue is with the AVI files which is older format that has this info, it can be handled with not problem: General Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave File size : 700 MiB Duration : 1 h 30 min O…

I do not wish to have any transcoding. Why can’t I turn transcoding completely off? I am master of my server, so I know which clients will be accessing it - just my Roku. I’ve been using Plex on three different older computers, including this Windows PC. My troubles seem to have started up within th…

[image] Designwallah: Why can’t I turn transcoding completely off? You can… check Settings > [Server Name] > Transcoder > Disable video stream transcoding. With transcoding is disabled, Plex will give you an error message if you attempt to play a video it cannot direct play/stream.

I have been having the same issues over the last few months. I just started and I did nothing in terms of changes and format. Now I can’t even play the trailers that are on each movie anymore. I don’t think it is a hardware issue since it has been working fine for the last 4 years. Now I have an AMD…

Suffering from this since I installed PLEX version 1.24.3.5033 on my Drobo 5N. Any ideas on how to fix? tried most of the recommendations here and nothing fixed it and I was able to play all of this files before this last update.

The people that respond here, who are supposedly “in the know” seem to suggest it’s our hardware that’s causing the problem, not a software update, but I beg to differ. I used to be able to play some of the videos that I now have trouble with, including x265 formatted videos, which I can no longer p…

ditto for me after last update. Is there some new algorithm that looks at CPU and determines transcoding capability? If so it is bunk as previously everything worked great and now I get the “not powerful enough” for all of my recorded TV shows.
