Recaps and Condensed options no longer play.

[brettonlewis]

I can watch the game live with no issues. I can even watch the full game as a replay. But if I try recap or condensed game, nothing happens.

Still an issue?

[goldenpipes]

They play for me but at 184p? Ultra low quality. In chrome, openpht and windows10 apps. Wierd.

[narcogen]

Still an issue. Live games and full replays are fine, but recaps and condensed games produce a "cannot play this media file" error.

This is still kind of an issue:

• on my iOS Devices: Couldn’t create the playback session for this item
• on a Browser not in my Homenetwork: Recap play in horrible resolution (the same as goldenpipes said)

Will try to get some logfile infos about the iOS Stuff

This is a known issue. Workaround below. Note, you must do this everytime Plex updates.

Cheers

iOS app Workaround: Copy and modify the iOS.xml profile to your Plex data directory to disable Direct Play of HTTPS Live Streaming content. Note: This should also work for the tvOS.xml profile. Locate the iOS.xml file in the Plex install directory (note this location for later). Locate your Plex data directory and create a new folder called Profiles. Copy the iOS.xml file (from the directory noted in step 1) to the newly created Profiles folder. Modify the iOS.xml file and ensure the following lines are commented out (top line is already a comment, use the notation on the next line to match). Your file should have two lines that look like this:

Save the file and restart PMS.

Gongman514, thats not the same issue you mention. This workaround is needed to get the live games and full replays working. And I already using this workaround.

So I got some Time and tried to get a look in to the logfiles and found this when I try to play a recap on my iPhone:

In the attachments you find the whole log for this request: recap_iphone.log

Here now the same recap through Plex Media Player on Windows: (It was harder to get through this log but I found this row where you see that the resolution is something 180) Jan 06, 2019 11:30:24.977 [2528] VERBOSE - * mediaInfo => {"audio_channels": 2, "protocol": null, "optimized_for_streaming": null, "video_frame_rate": null, "duration": null, "height": 180, "width": 320, "container": "mp4", "audio_codec": "aac", "aspect_ratio": null, "video_codec": "h264", "video_resolution": 180, "bitrate": null} In the attachments you fint the whole log for this request: recap_windows.log

On an android device it worked normally.

My Bad. Just checked on my iDevices, past games work but not the recaps. PC Version 2.3.120180418 no recaps shown. I'll do some poking around and advise if I find anything. Apologies once again.
