It might also help to ask for more info on the Plex specific forums as they are likely to have more indepth knowledge on the software. One is to force direct play, and another thing is to set unlimited for remote network connections (not sure why, but that helped me), and also add your internal subnet under Lan Networks, etc. You have to do a couple things for this to work correctly. See how you get on with that, hopefully will fix a good number of them for you. It was because Plex was trying to transcode the stream. This may already get part of your metadata tags? If you have created collections then you will have an additional option at the top of the right (main) pane called ‘Collections’, this is in additional to the default ‘Recommended’ and ‘Library’. With films you can set them into groups, this is done by clicking the Edit option (bottom left corner of the individual item), selecting Tags from the window that opens and updating the Collection field. This will list all the potential matches Plex has come up with, it may have identified against the wrong one and can be corrected here. Via that same menu look at the Fix Match… option. If I change my plex network settings for local to maximum from direct play OR if I check the force transcode these exact same media items that failed before, now play fine (although it taxes my plex server needlessly). Its super weird Is there any other setting you had to modify for your DTS. Ive just tried setting my server and ps4 plex to 20mbps for local quality, direct play on, and prefer AAC audio. All on the network via gigabit ethernet over power. Select Refresh Metadata and let it do its thing. No buffering, Plex set to direct play 20Mbps, same with the server settings. To do that go into your Music library, then in the right (main) pane click the 3 dots (bottom right corner) on the item that is wrong. Manually refresh the metadata on individual albums that are not correctly identified. I am doing this on mine now to see what it comes up with, it does appear to be working as I can see the unmatched items updating with album covers etc. This is done from the left side menu in Plex, next to the Music library click the 3 dots icon, select Manage Library > Refresh All Metadata. Are you connected to a dts capable AVR You are using the HDMI connection Maybe your wifi connection signal is too weak, or maybe they are right and roku 1 will not work. Refresh the metadata for the entire library. Set your Plex Quality setting at 20Mbps, and force direct play. So, I would give the following a try and see if that helps first of all… When that has occured for me I have manually forced a refresh of metadata for that file and it has always picked up the right info second time round. I have seen, on occasion, that when I add a file to a library I do use, it does not always identify it and update straight away from the Metadata. I just assumed that was down to the files themselves and as I am not streaming music from it I have never bothered to look in more detail. I honestly don’t know how good the metadata is on those files as I have never looked, but Plex is a little inconsistent on mine. Mine are in a single Music folder and then subdivided by artist, then again by Album etc. I have approximately 95Gb of Music (all MP3s) on my NAS but I don’t really use it for streaming music files (just as a store), so am not too familiar with that side of things. Plex has to overcome some unique challenges (Plex server owners don't tend to keep 20+ different versions of the same file to ensure direct play compatibility with any device like Netflix does), but it has been disappointing to see no change in Plex's default client settings.What version of Server are you using, it should be v1. I initially tried to tell my family to bump up/remove their remote streaming limits, but that never gained much long-term traction because everyone rightly expects it work like literally every other streaming service and set the bitrate based on the user's connection speed. People have been asking for admin/account-wide control of default remote quality pretty much since Plex's inception, but not much has been done to alleviate it. ![]() Yeah, some of it is because the client simply doesn't support the video/audio codecs of a file, but the biggest cause of transcodes in my experience is Plex's default remote quality of 2Mbps per device, not even per account (and the fact that Plex has a tendency to occasionally reset it back to 2Mbps on client updates).
