I am running PMS on a very low-powered freeNAS device so I'd liek to avoid transcoding as much as possible..
I used to stream from PMS to a chromecast via the Andoid app but have recently replaced the chromecast with a RasPlex on a RPI3.
The idea was to use directplay and avoid any transcoding as the PMS and the RasPlex device are both in the same lan.
P.S. I assume the PMS and RPI3 will realize they are in the same network aka locally?
The settings on the RPI3 are to directplay local and remote content and ask for internet content.
Yesterday I tried playing a movie with a higher resolution, usually I watch 720p material yesterday it was a 1080p movie and on my TV the RPI3 showed me: Resolution too big, transcoding: 1920x800 so I am elft wondering what it is transcoding.
The TV is also an older model which only has a resolution of 1366x768 but can play anything up to 1920x1080
Can someone shed some light onto this issue please?
