plex This apparently fixes Plex app constant buffering on Xbox One

[Steven P. 15,941]

Sometime recently a new update was pushed to the Xbox One which has again broken the Plex app to which it constantly buffers direct streams.

 

Shamelessly copied from here while looking for a solution it seems that the Kodi app does a far better job:

• Install Kodi on your Xbox One
• Launch Kodi, goto addons; search for Plex and install Plex
• Run Plex Addon
• In Plex settings enable X265
• In Plex settings set remote quality to original
• Set Plex addon to run at Kodi startup.

The only drawback is that it does not support HDR mode switching, which is why I am finally done with messing around with Plex on the Xbox and I'm now ordering an Nvidia Shield.

 

I will try the above on my Xbox One S upstairs in my bedroom and report back with my findings.
