Transcode to HEVC/x265

[SkylerWolfe]

Am I missing something? How is this person getting transcoding to hevc?

Plex transcoding some h264 to HEVC on devices which seemingly can't handle it

Server Version#: 1.21.4.4079 Player Version#: iOS 7.14 / iPadOS 7.13 I have some files which have proven troublesome to play, they were ripped at a far higher bitrate than necessary so I’ve transcoded them to something more suitable. As a workaround to the original problem, I put a limit on the kids iPads for the bandwidth of the video they could play (720p @ 4Mbps) which forced Plex to transcode the videos from h264 to h264 but lower resolution/bitrate…all good. That was however a workaround…
