Server Version#: 1.25.5.5492-12f6b8c83
Player Version#: 5.32.1
I am trying to avoid transcoding.
My PLEX server is running on a windows 10 i5-8400 HTPC with 8G RAM. The PLEX client is on an Xbox One X.
I have setup for both direct play and direct stream. In all cases I can confirm on the PLEX server that direct play is being used. I have audio passthrough setup on the Xbox One X and can confirm my Anthem AVM60 processor that the audio stream is coming through as expected. So It appears I am not transcoding.
However, if I check the ‘disable video stream transcoding’ the video will not play (which surprises me since it works with direct play).
Can anyone clarify what is occurring?
My rips are in .mkv containers. HD material in H.264 and UHD in H.265. I include the main movie, 1 or 2 subtitles tracks, a chapters file, and the highest quality audio track available from my rip of the disk (often this is DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD).
Thanks for the help.
