OpenPHT for RPi2 (RasPlex) direct playing unsupported x265 instead of transcoding #218

I am trying to play x265 content from my PMS but the server is not transcoding for some reason. It direct plays the stream which is very slow and choppy on the RPi2 which does not have x265 support

This is the first version of OpenPHT I have used but I was using PMP on the same Pi up until yesterday and it would tell the server to transcode the streams

OpenPHT: OpenPHT 1.8.0 for RPi2 using Black skin and default skin PMS: Version 1.5.1.3520 on Ubuntu 16.04

I just noticed the Direct Play HEVC was enabled for up to 720p. I have turned that off now so there is no issue after all. This should probably be disabled by default though for the RPi builds.
