Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639-7000 on Synology DS218+ Player Version#: PlexAmp 4.9.5 on Android 14 Pixel 7a Hi all, I’m running a Plex server on Synology NAS, and PlexAmp on Android 14. I have lots of FLAC albums in my audio library. Most 44/16 but some 96/24 or 192/24. All have a bitrate higher …

There you go 95521918703011.zip (402.0 KB) You meant the logs from the PlexAmp client right? Not the server ones.

Huh that’s suspicious Jan 13, 2024 16:17:58.369 [0xf8d34cb0] INFO - Media: Found an item to direct play with bitrate under 0 (it was 1042 kbps). Jan 13, 2024 16:17:58.372 [0xf8d34cb0] INFO - Cache: Using RAM buffer of 2048 KB for item with container flac bitrate of 130 KB/sec. I set the limit bit…

After the burial - π then I also played After the Burial - a steady decline

Also, I see in the logs it precaches 15 next tracks when I set the buffering parameter to “next track” on mobile and WIFI altogether. Seems like all precaching/transcoding settings are ignored on WiFi

The server is in the local network, right? The bandwidth limit is only effective if the server is remote. Simply because a bandwidth limit for a local server doesn’t make that much sense.

Yes it’s local. You mean to say that the WiFi settings only work when I’m connected to another WiFi than my home network?

Precisely. A local WiFi is rarely bandwidth-limited (or even paid by data volume) so that an artificial limitation doesn’t make much sense. And Plexamp only deals with audio data, which are not that bandwidth-hungry anyway.

Well that’s not clearly stated in the options, I thought it would mean it transcodes on ANY WiFi network, be it local or remote. That’s not straightforward in how the setting is formulated. That being said, I wanted to transcode because I get lots of stuttering when playing 192/24 FLAC files.

Fetch the plexamp logs immediately after testing this again on WiFi. Then post them here.
