Plex - Amazon Kindle HDX




Recently the Kindle Fire HD stopped playing videos from plex, transcoding was active on the Plex server but still only sound played on the kindle.

Select the Plex Server settings and "show advanced"
Select DLNA > DLNA client preferences:

Add the following:
IP=[IP of Kindle],DirectPlay=true,DirectStream=true,LocalResolution=1920x1080,RemoteResolution=1280x720,OnlineResolution=1280x720,LocalVideoQuality=74,RemoteVideoQuality=49,OnlineVideoQuality=49,SubtitleSize=100,AudioBoost=100,MusicBitrate=64
