ReadyNAS PRO 4 play 1080p through PLEX?
Can the PLEX addon play 1080p without transcoding to a local media PC?

- Without transcoding? If the media is in an appropriate format to allow Direct Play or Direct Streaming, then Yes.
http://elan.plexapp.com/2011/03/14/comi ... ns-part-5/ - Great information. Does the PLEX server for ReadyNAS have Direct Play?
- Yes
- Interesting. I have a ReadyNAS PRO 4 and I am having trouble viewing 1080p MKV files, or any MKV files for that matter. The media shows up on my media center PC but does not play. Any advice? Thanks.
- I don't use a PC (Mac Only here) but I believe the PC client works the same as the Mac client in that all decoding of the media is done on the client - not the server. (ie DirectPlay is used for all media).
Transcoding is really only for those clients with limited horsepower or possibility to support all media formats (eg Android, iOS devices etc)
So if nothing plays you have a more fundamental issue and I'd suggest you visit the Plex forum to get support: http://forums/plexapp.com
There is a specific Windows Client forum there
