It sounds like this might be similar to your issue? I could imagine that the client requests a lower resolution stream due to bandwidth limitations, and then fails to display this at the full dimensions of the screen - thus giving the impression of a small picture in the corner. This was causing terrible problems until I worked out how to turn it off. For better or worse, what I've found is that there is a setting (at least on PLEX on the nVidia Shield PRO) that will ask for a transcoded lower bitrate if there are any potential bandwidth issues. Particularly if you are streaming 4K at high bitrates, you need to have a solid and stable network connection. Where I have found problems is with the bandwidth between the streaming device and the server. This tells me straight away that the issue does not lie with the ripped file itself. They would play well directly on the server either through PLEX or VLC. I have come across similar issues where some movies just didn't play properly on a specific device. I'm no expert, but I have been using MakeMKV to rip my personal collection of movies and TV shows for several years now, and I serve these to our home with a PLEX server. I can get it to display the correct picture if I change the video quality setting to 1080.Īny help with this will be greatly appreciated. The same files play fine on my laptop using Plex or VLC.Īdditionally, I have one file, Perdita Durango, that exhibits a full-screen display of psychedelic colors. Examples of films this occurs on (and always at the same locations) include Psycho, Backdraft, The Goonies and Dunkirk. Later in the program the picture will return to normal, only to happen again later. However, a few of the files will start out playing fine and then suddenly the picture reduces to a small square in the upper left hand corner of the screen that is distorted. I use the Plex app on my LG OLED television for playback and, for the most part, the results have been stellar. I have been converting my 4k collection via MakeMKV and storing on a Synology media server. I have been searching but not had any luck finding anything on the board. Apologies if this has been previously covered in another thread.
