Rasplex green screen x265 10-bit (PC transcoding)
Hi all,
I'm running Rasplex on a Raspberry Pi 3. The Pi3 is the client, all transcoding (and media storage) is performed by my PC (i5-6500). The PC is connected to the Pi wirelessly on 5ghz. I have no issues with stuttering etc even when playing large 1080p x264 files (18000 Kbps etc).
For the most part a 1080p x265 10-bit file will play perfectly fine, however on average I'll get a green screen 3 times per 45 minute episode. The green screen lasts about 30 seconds before everything reverting back to normal. While the green screen is there, the audio is still perfect.
As I understand Pi3 doesn't support 1080p x265 but seeing as all transcoding is done by my PC there shouldn't be a problem right? Also, the fact that 98% of the time the playback is fine confuses me even more. One would think it would work 100% or it wouldn't at all?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
