Server Version#: 1.31.1.6716
Player Version#: 1.64.2.3546-5107ec40
ON MY PC
I use my MacMini M1 as Server and my Windows 11 PC as Player. It can play ALL formats natively.
I also have enabled directplay and directstream.
Must have changed recently, so since today I can not watch any series without transcoding.
If I disable transcoding, it tells me, I do not have enough CPU power to play it.
But my PC runs on a 5900X and litteraly can play all formats and files.
WEB PLAYER
The web player plays the video as directplay. But transcodes the audio from AC3 to AAC.
CONCLUSION
I really don’t like plex not respecting my settings!
Please fix this.
