Tip for pixelation during transcoding from recent updates

[Noah0504]

It appears that this is a separate issue and the Plex team is aware of it.

Live TV and recorded TV playback stutter, buffering, and pixelation using Plex Server 1.18.0.1846

That’s a different issue. That’s to do with HW transcoding on linux based platforms. The 1.18.0.1944 fix was to do with the recordings themselves. When you look at the recordings on disk (say with mpv), there were issues with the recordings. 1.18.0.1944 resolves this issue, and we’re working to address the HW transcoding issues during playback.
