Set Remote Streaming Quality to Max/ Direct/ Original:
Make sure all Plex Apps (Streaming Box, TV, Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Desktop) are set to the maximum/ original remote quality. By default Plex sets this to 720p on all devices. If you do not do this then (a) playback quality will be needlessly reduced and (b) Plex will transcode any content above 720p and cause 4K Transcode not allowed error. Only Transcode 1080p if your internet bandwidth is not good enough OR you are on mobile/tab.
4K Transcode is not allowed:
The above rule is for 1080p (Full HD). The server will through a message to play 1080p content if you try to transcode 4K and the playback will stop immediately. Go to plex settings and change Remote Streaming to : Original/Max/Direct depending on the device you have plex on. Please Note: Even if you have kept the video to original, and your device it unable to decode audio stream, plex will transcode it and you again will get no transcode allowed error. To avoide this, pause the movie as soon as it starts to play. Go to audio and choose AC3 or AAC audio from there. Similarly PGS subtitles also forces a transcode. Avoid PGS subs and choose SRT. If you dont find SRT then you can download subs. The tut on subtitles is given somewhere at the bottom. More on transcoding can be found here:

AVOID PLEX on Web Browsers : The Plex Website interface is very limited . You can play 1080p/720p but expect you will always buffer.
