Direct Play has always been wonky with Native Plex app. Turning off direct play or simply having mkv files that had to stream always worked. Just liked seeing the previews while scrubbing since all media is converted to mp4 with ac3 and mov_text for apple tv. Infuse scrubbing is pretty slow with cloud. I was just curious as to why it was’t working with Direct Play with the native app. If you ever come across a solution please post it =] As for opening and closing even my direct stream does it. And you pointed out the 403 errors. Given my entire config is posted, any glaring mistakes or any tweaks or wisdom? You seem to have extensively tested this setup. Thanks.
