Written by There are some lucky guys have got some 4K Video files, but the problem is, when guys tried to play 4K video via Plex from WD My Cloud EX2, it seems that Plex won’t support H.265(HEVC) 4K directly.
Q: “I’d like to store my 4k video’s on an EX2 RAID1, I have tried the media server and the Plex app but both say the files are unrecognised and do I want to play the next one. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? at the moment I am manually transferring the files to a USB stick and plugging directly into the TV which works but is not ideal.”
