By diving into the settings and erasing the stored tokens for your login, you can force Plex to ask for them again and get a fresh error-free login.

The problem is that deep behind the scenes in the Windows Registry (or in text-based configuration files on macOS and Linux), there’s an issue with how the login credentials for your account have been stored. The issue manifests itself in a few different ways, but the common element is that when you go to log into your web-based control panel for your Plex server either you can’t access the control panel at all, and get an error like “You do not have permission to access this server.” Or, if you’ve ever dabbled with multiple servers or have removed and installed your Plex server on the same machine with a different account, you’ll be unable to log in with the account you wish to use. Plex (software) Plex is an American streaming media service and a clientserver media player platform, made by Plex, Inc.

Let’s dig into some arcane settings and get you back to media nirvana. You install the server software, you point your Plex clients at it, and start watching your movies. Since I play through that add-on it may have affected the negotiation with the Plex server, hosing usability somehow and forcing it to transcode.For the most part, the Plex Media Server experience is pretty flawless. I’m guessing that the PfK add-on got corrupted somehow and reinstalling it fixed the issue. You can add multiple users for the management of the Plex servers from the settings. Organizr helps you to set up tabs with individual servers where they all can be managed separately without any hassle. It is not easy to manage and track them simultaneously. My Plex server and my Vero are not in the same room so I didn’t look at the server to see if it was transcoding or not, but after removing the PfK add-on, rebooting then setting it up again even my buffering issue is gone and PQ is great again! You may be running several Plex servers at once. I don’t know if it was still transcoding or not. I don’t know if there is a setting specifically for that. AFAIK, whether it transcodes or not is up to some negotiation between the player and the server based on the capabilities of the player and the bandwidth available.

In OSMC, within the PfK add-on I have all the video options enables…direct play, HEVC etc over a 1GB LAN. Not sure what you are referring to with “appears you are using transcode”. From the logs it appears that you are using transcode.
