    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    I watched one of my M2TS formatted episodes that is 720x480, interlaced, and 5.2 Mbps. When I brought down the Plex client details during playback, I expected to see the same, but I did not. It did show it streaming in "Direct" mode, so there was no transcoding, but it also showed it being...

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    I'm open to suggestions? If any transcoding is going on, I might have to consider the Plex Pass to get hardware capable transcoding.

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    It's obviously not doing a full video transcode. I thought maybe it had something to do with the audio being transcoded, but I checked today, and the audio is the same format across containers. That leaves the difference in types of containers, but I would think that would be at most be an...

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    Just to close the loop, there are many shows I have that were extracted from DVDs and backed up as single episode MPEG files. I did this way before having my own streaming service. I did this to cut down on shelf space, having at one time 250+ TV series and many inflated size cases from the...

    So, I converted some MPG files into MKV containers and loaded them on the Synology server. When trying to play them directly from the Synology server using my computer, I received the Plex Error "This server is not powerful enough to convert video." When I went to the HT and checked the Plex...

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    I recall when first looking into the 24.00 fps and 60.00 fps that both the Infuse and Plex clients worked. If I can't get it to work within Plex (however, it sounds like I should be able to) that is already installed, I will look at Infuse. Thanks.

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    Thanks, I will give a look during lunch break. I recall going through the Plex client to ensure Match Frame Rate was on, but I likely didn't know how many of the other settings worked, so left them at their defaults. I completely redid my Synology in early Spring with the latest DSM and Plex...

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    I have a Synology server running Plex and an Apple 4K TV to output to my projector. Unfortunately, while Plex can handle MKV the Apple 4K TV apparently does not, which means re-encoding MPG files to MP4. Currently, I've been re-encoding TV shows at 4.5-5 bitrate and I'm not noticing any...
