PLEX MEDIA PLAYER WINDOWS FULL

Great вЂ“ until you run the new Plex app which doesnвЂ™t support Windows scaling ( a known issue that they are working toward resolution.)ДЄnother issue is when you decide to play videos full screen ( sarcasm) I mean, who would want to use the entire 4K of your 4K TV/monitor to play 4K videos, right? (/sarcasm) then youвЂ™d get a quick *blink* of the screenвЂ¦and HDR would be disabled. Namely, many people enable scaling on their 4K monitors so the text doesnвЂ™t look like this.

The problem with the new application is if youвЂ™re using it on a 4K display, especially one with HDR, it has some serious flaws вЂњout of the boxвЂќ, so to speak. But I only used syncing of videos on my tablet or cell phone anyway. No вЂ“ it did not support syncing to the local PC, only streaming. TheyвЂ™ll also tell you they are soon dropping support for the venerable Plex Media Player, which has been my HTPC player of choice for a few years due to its fantastic GUI, ability to quickly show information on the video being streamed, and full codec and pass-through support made it basically the best of all worlds. It also includes the ability to sync videos, which before required the use of the Windows Store Plex app (blech.)

If you visit their blog on the subject, theyвЂ™ll tell you this new application basically emulates the GUI of the browser version but includes full pass-through of HDR, multi-channel audio, and many audio and video codecs for which the web browser requires server side transcoding. Plex has recently released a new Windows application for playing videos from a Plex server. If you just want to jump to the solution and skip the background/details on what the issue is, click here.
