Problem with on computer and chromecast

[TLeVague 0]

Hello ! 

So I am not a tech expert at all and i use Emby with a server that I paid from [redacted]. Lately this message has been appearing when I want to watch anything on my pc and sometimes on my Chromecast. It says my device is attempting to trancode a 4k video but I'm postive I chose a 1080p video. It works perfectly on my phone but I'm completely oblivious to how to fix this.

 

Thank you in advance for your advices.

Looks like a plugin like mine for controlling transcodes has ended up on an illegal pirate site.

Can i just quickly say that (even though it most likely changes nothing) I DO NOT APPROVE OF THAT!

So what does that mean ? Can I remove the plugin ?

No you can't, it's not something done client-side. And even if it were - facilitating access to an illegal share server that is in breach of Emby's Terms of Service is not something you would reasonably expect to get on Official support forums, is it? 

Any and all questions you have, you can direct them to that server Admin.
