Pixelization on 1080p MKV's about plexconnect HOT 8 CLOSED

Turn quality up until you get a remux.

I have it at the max (1080p@20mb)...not sure what else to do = /

You haven't given me any media information or logs, so it's hard to tell. You could try using the plexinc branch which goes up to 40Mbps ~ https://github.com/plexinc/plexconnect/tree/new-movie-sections

I would be more than happy to give you that info....how/where can I get the logs? Here is the media information I see from VLC for the The Dark Knight 1080p file that is playing with a degraded video quality (pixelization). Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks again

I just tried using that other branch of files and no luck... not only did i not get transcoding resolution options on the "settings" tab, but I also lost my search tab.

What firmware are you running?

im using the latest (5.2.1) on my appletv3

I am going to close this because i want to keep this kind of chat to the forums but try the latest code, as it has had a number of improvements related to playback and may resolve your issue. NB be aware that you should start from scratch and not use your old settings.py file, this has been replaced with settings.cfg, which is generated on first run. If you continue to have problems:
