There’s probably a codec issue where Plex thinks something can direct play but it can’t. I’ve had similar issues a few times over the years especially with audio codecs like EAC3 for example. Easiest thing to do is to just find a different version of the file and try to avoid that codec for the time being.
The statement you just made is unabashedly stupid beyond all measure
It’s hilarious you keep making statements like this as every point you make has been shown to either be uninformed or completely false. I sense strong projection here…
Everything you listed are crimes.
Torrenting isn’t a crime and downloading others’ IP is also not a crime. Sharing others’ IP can be a crime in some jurisdictions. There is also a gap as wide as the Grand Canyon between sharing a Taylor Swift album and distributing child porn or hacking into government systems which is why I put a qualifier on my statement. I’m surprised a stable genius such as yourself couldn’t understand the difference. You’re basically claiming that speeding and murder are equivalent crimes here.
It’s essentially illegal in every sovereign country on the planet save for a few.
What exactly are you defining as illegal here and what’s the level of enforcement in all these locations? Weed is illegal everywhere in the US, and yet I have been able to drive down to a store and buy it for the past 10 years without issue. Once again you don’t seem to grasp what you’re discussing, and I notice that you conveniently left off the rest of that statement since you presumably can’t form a coherent rebuttal like we keep seeing in all of your other comments here. For someone who puts their intelligence in such high regard, your replies seem to be anything but.
Mullvad didn’t remove port forwarding because people were torrenting too much they removed it because people were using it for real criminal activity like hacking and CP and they were getting heat for it.
I have no idea why you’re mentioning legal versus illegal torrenting as laws differ everywhere, they’re not banning OP for illegal activity, they’re not scanning all your files to determine whether it’s legal IP or not, and they’re banning him for using too much bandwidth.
Same here. Switched from Mullvad to AirVPN once they dropped port forwarding. I have had several issues with the Eddie client, but wound up dropping it in favor of gluetun and Wiresock with Wireguard configs and have had zero issues.
Unlimited means no data cap, not infinite bandwidth
How is limited bandwidth not a data cap? When you multiply a bandwidth limit x the number of days, hours, minutes, etc in a month, it sure looks like a data cap to me.
Does that even work? These companies know the IP ranges of many VPNs and block them.
I imagine there must be some other third party clients that allow you to import a Wireguard or OpenVPN config with split tunneling.
Edit: I turned my imagination into googling and it looks like a Wireguard split tunnel might work on a Mac but probably might not also. OpenVPN seemed more promising but I didn’t do a whole lot of reading.
Eddie doesn’t allow for split tunneling. I setup WireSock on Windows which allows you to split tunneling using a wireguard config generated from AirVPNs site. I don’t know if they have a Mac client, but you might check into it.
Not sure if they have a client for Mac but I dropped Eddie and started using WireSock on Windows. You just configure a Wireguard config on AirVPNs site and then import it. Wiresock allows you to configure split tunneling.
OP what are the specs of your system that seeding more than 8 torrents causes issues?
You can force a transcode by dropping the quality of the video in the player settings. Perhaps something is misconfigured with HW transcoding and that’s the actual reason why your videos aren’t playing (and not the codec issue I mentioned in my other comment).
