Environment
- Plexio maintained fork (latest)
- Stremio Desktop (Windows)
- Nvidia Shield TV Pro (same behavior)
- Shared Plex server
- Direct Play enabled
- Transcoded stream enabled
Problem
Plexio connects successfully.
I can browse all Plex libraries and open movies/episodes.
When I select the Direct Play stream, Stremio stays on the loading/poster screen forever and playback never starts.
When I select the Transcoded stream, playback starts immediately and works perfectly.
Diagnostics
Using "Copy Stream Link" on the Direct Play stream returns a URL similar to:
https://<server>.plex.direct:17600/library/parts/.../file.mp4?X-Plex-Token=...
Opening that URL directly in a browser returns:
The exact same media Direct Plays correctly in the official Plex client.
Question
Is this a known issue with Direct Play on shared Plex servers?
Is Plexio expected to request /library/parts/.../file.mp4 directly, or could something else be causing the 503 response?
