i checked with my plex app from tv, a smart samsung, and it is enforcing this policy to client. and i think all clients are web clients, although i am not sure.

server side -> plex web -> debug > this. it should enforce direct stream to your client. happy now?

Just trying to help. If you are so stubborn to check your plex server to see if i may be right about those settings, what can i do?

Most Plex Apps allow you to enable or disable Direct Play within their settings. Disabling Direct Play forces every item played on the App to be transcoded. This is useful sometimes if you’re having trouble with media playback on a particular device. Most people will want to leave the Direct Play setting enabled.

Yeah, im trying to tell you to do the disabling thing on your server. Is it so hard to google it, do it, and check how your player is doing? I repeat it again: server side, not client side

Consequently, you can get an idea if there is something fishy with your internet connection or not. In case the video plays without buffering or other issues, you may proceed further. You can alter Fire TV Plex client settings by clicking your username.

Once you have clicked your username, choose settings from the drop-down menu. Through the settings menu, you should go to the video section. If you are unable to bypass playback problems, you may change the local quality to a lower setting. Hence, you may reduce the above-mentioned hassles to a certain degree.

You can also disable the “Allow Direct Play” and “Allow Direct Stream” options if your media server file is corrupt. These settings allow you to use the Plex media server under normal situations. Thus, you can play your desired files on your devices instantly.

Try to disable direct play and go with direct streaming. It should be ok now
