Hello guys,
I have a doubt about Direct Play on WebOS LG SmartTV. I tried a lot of movies with different containers, but in ALL cases plex is transcoding the container.
It looks like It just accept a format MPEGTS. What becomes Impossible to plays any movie in Direct play. Is that right?

If I understand this correctly, you need to change your LG WebOS Plex client quality to (Original).
It’s already. I change everything to original in settings.

Server version, Plex LG Client version. You will find these in the server settings Authorized devices
Oh, right.
Server version: 1.19.3.2852
LG Client Version: 4.29.6
Android Client Version: 6.1.3.933
On Android it doesn’t happens. It direct plays a lot of movies. Even the container. Different from the TV.

Have you tried using The server Dashboard. Click to enlarge
transcoding issues. Can you please vote for it to have it implemented? This way your issue gets fixed too!
Plenty of issues all arround the web regaring transcoding with SmartTV Plex clients. My suggestion is simple:
Create an option in the server settings - Authorized Devices to override the default audio , video codec settings and support for a specific device.
