I have been using plex for about a year now to stream media from my local server (ubuntu docker vm in proxmox) to a plex client on my NVIDIA Shield. Until recently, every stream has always been direct playing as I ensure all of my local media are in formats that are compatible with the shield. However in the recent days I have been having problems with videos buffering and noticed that all videos that I play are now transcoding.
The video will continue to transcode until I select a subtitle track, at which point the volume increases slightly and the video will begin to direct play immediately. I can select whichever subtitle track I like and after selecting one, I can even change the subtitle selection back to none and it will continue to direct play until I exit the video.
I have tried multiple different videos and they all behave the same, transcoding until I select a subtitle track. I have also updated my NVIDIA Shield to the latest firmware as well as updating the plex app on my shield and the plex media server to the latest versions.
I would appreciate any advice and help in resolving this issue, thanks!
