But what about when you are away on vacation, or if you want to share access to your library with friends and family? Plex remote access not working? It’s easy to listen to your music or watch your movies via Plex when you’re at home and connected to your home network. Another odd thing is that when I put on a 4K, 4K HDR or 1080p movie it say that I’m watching them at their full resolution on Plex but when I hit the “info” button on my Vizio tv it says that every movie (regardless of whether or not it’s 4K, 4K HDR or 1080p) is playing at 480p.Plex Media Server is a great solution to organize all of your media and access them from your laptop, phone, TV, or lots of other places. And just to be clear it is hardwired so no wireless connections at all. My Plex server is on my computer and I have never had any issues streaming in highest quality until I set this up. Something is getting messed up coming from the Starlink router through the 8 port Netgear GS308 and then through the 5 port Netgear GS305 into my device (tv,Xbox, PS4, Shield etc).

My 8 port switch is the netgear GS308 and my 5 port switches are netgear GS305’s. I just do this for making sure files are playing back right after creation on the PC (with DV active/RPU timing accurate) before throwing onto the server for playback via TV devicesĬan someone please tell me why all of a sudden my movies will not stream in their highest possible resolution? I’m using a local area network hardwired and the variable is that I have an unmanaged ethernet switch (just purchased) 8ports splitting off to separate rooms and in those separate room I have a 5 port unmanaged Ethernet switch. This does not require a DV certified prebuilt PC/laptop Now there are problems with the Win 8 Plex app that it's so old - if you click a title that's in a collection it will error and you can't play unless you remove it from the collection - missing new features - etc You can then play HDR + Dolby Vision (DV profile 8 and 5 only - and only in mp4 container, not mkv - color accuracy isn't perfectionist perfect IIRC but casual use good enough, but RPU effects are processed/displayed with this - which is the more apparent and important thing to me, personally - TV also won't kick into DV mode either with this setup - part of why color is off with this I believe) in Win Store apps like default Movies & TV app and old Win 8 Plex app (No for VLC Win Store app with DV) - haven't tried others. If you have the old Plex Windows 8 app (which can still be installed if you owned it prior on Win 10 & 11)Īnd install this app Get Dolby Vision Extensions - Microsoft Store on Win 10 or 11
