Hi I just got myself a roku premiere+ and will use it as the main streamer for plex, netflix, amazon, sling etc. I was wondering if there is a forum post with the best settings. I have not used Roku for a couple of years and want to be sure if I am using the plex app in the optimal way. I have installed the plex pass version and my PMS is on a synology DS1812+. The connection between the roku and the PMS is wired.
I noticed that loading a sizeable 1080P MKV movie takes a while (saw other posts about this). When I opened the settings during playable and looked at playback I noticed something strange. It was not playing back at the original quality which was described as 17Mbps 1080p but at one setting lower 12Mbps 1080P... After I selected original... it played fine with a perfect picture..
why would it downgrade? it even seemed loading took longer as I guess it was transcoding at first? Is there a setting I need to change to force directplay for all media I select (irrelevant from which library?)
As always apologies if I should have searched the forum longer and thanks for your help!
