What kinds of issues? I put an Intel Arc in my server and it's working fine AFAICT.

    I have an ~80GB movie that I can watch on a TV that can't even handle the data rate for that file, nevermind the codecs.

    But if the couple minutes to click "this client can't handle anything over 60Mbps x264" is too much work, then by all means keep paying for Plex. Or "hypothetically" find a smaller copy of that movie.

    I'm always amazed by the number of people who absolutely can't leave Plex because they've got 14 grandparents streaming 8k rips all day every day.
