Just tried to stream to IE for the first time and, although the transcode still failed, it generated an error! That's great because now I have something to look in to.

I know the file is good because I can play it on my PC using VLC, but if I go through Plex or Emby, I get nothing. Plex is available for free, but for more advanced features like live TV and DVR, you need to get the premium Plex Pass for 4.99 a month, 39.99 a year, or 119.99 for a lifetime. The other is a movie that doesn't play on any of my clients. Plex states that if your server is located on the same network as your TV, you wont have any issues. One is for a TV show that plays fine on all of my clients, including when it needs to be transcoded for the PS3. Here are some screenshots, in case this is helpful to people. Additionally, I have tested playing the movie files on my old Plex Media Server and it will transcode to the PS3 without issue. As I said, I am already able to play TV shows that are stored in these same MKV containers, but not movies for some reason. MKV is not a format, it's a container, so everything inside the MKV is the same old stuff that Plex is used to playing (MPEG2/MPEG4, MP3/MP4, AAC, DTS, etc). Once downloaded and stored in your library, open it. The article you sent me was for direct play on PS3, it begins by saying 'Content matching the following can usually be Direct Played.'įirst, I'm not doing direct play, I'm transcodeing and playing. From your Smart TV, go to the app store and look for the Plex app on it.
