![]() The video is ready to play but it stays stuck like that and the only way to get it to play is to press the play button twice. I would gladly play $50 a year extra for the Plex iOS/tvOS apps to have all the right licenses to decode all content locally, if only it were an option.Īlso with Plex on ATV4 there's a very weird issue where when I play a video the screen goes black with the white loading symbol and it stays stuck like that. Plex tends to do the decoding on the server and then stream the video to the device when the player can't directly play the file, and with the AT4 out of all my Plex devices it cannot play most of my files. Infuse does all of the decoding on the Apple TV itself and the processor in it is more than capable of doing it. Infuse team did pay for those licenses though and all of my blu ray rips and remuxes play like a dream on the Apple TV over gigabit lan. The computer serving it is powerful enough for it and the Apple TV is powerful enough for it, but I think the crux of it is that the Plex team didn't want to have to pay for licenses for the Apple TV app, like dolby audio or whatever. But I've found that the Apple TV with Plex simply cannot play the majority of my HD movies, especially remuxes. It looks as if DDP 7.1 supports up to 1.7 Mbps. It is unclear to me what happens to Blu-Ray HD audio when transcoded to DDP 7.1. The Apple TV supports Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. Unclear where the problem is as when you get the subtitle buffering the cpu is throttled, running at 10-20%. There is a problem with subtitles, though. I run a PR4100 and there is no problem running multiple 1080p streams. ![]() I have tried to use Infuse with it's support for the higher resolution audio codecs but had too many problems. You need 3 backups on 3 different media types in at least 2 locations, one remote. That's a disaster just waiting to happen. Using a different client, such as the DNLA support on a Oppo Blu-Ray player totally eliminate transcoding issues (you can direct stream without transcoding from Plex Blu-Rays with DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD soundtracks and multiple subtitle tracks with no problem) but you just get a file interface, rather than the Plex Gui. The Apple TV Plex app has a great interface, but due to limitations in codec support it has limitations. The client makes a big difference as well. ![]() If transcoding has to occur, results differ depending upon the device running the Plex Server. On your computer, on a NAS, or even on a router (NetGear Nighthawk X10) with attached or NAS storage. There are a number of places you can run Plex.
