Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I've been using Synology DS1815+ with a few series on it.
I have always used PHT to connect to my server and play whatever I wanted to play. Never had any issues.
A while ago (2-3 months or so) I couldn't play my HVEC x265 episodes I was looking at. So I looked for solutions.
Quickly found out that PHT isn't supported no longer, and there was a new Windows 10 app which was a replacement.
I downloaded it, and yaay everything worked all episodes (old codec, new codec no problem), without issues.
And a nice extra, you can use the mouse!
Then the new interface came, looks awesome I like it very much.
Then from out of nowhere, my old movies don't play no more. When I select a movie it takes extremly long to load, half of the time my subtitles don't show (which is super annoying), it plays but after a while it starts stuttering and there's nothing to do with it no more.
If you try to go back a few minutes, it loads, keep loading, loads forever... and says "the server is not powerful enough to convert bla bla"
So again, I looked for another solution... I bumped into openPHT and guess what,... Everything plays as it should, and it's all smooth and fast. No more issues with anything.
That's great right?
Sad part is, I really adore PHT...
But I started to like the windows plex app a lot more... I want it to function again.
I have no idea where it came from, it was working like a charm,... and all of the sudden it got fucked. (windows update? app update? server update?)
If anyone, has any idea on what I can do to get it to work again... Please let me know.
