OK so this confirms that the conf is correct.

It might be able to play higher level limit encodes sometimes but maybe not for all videos that use it.
You could try setting

Code: Select all

H264LevelLimit = 5.2
if you can consistently play them with no transcoding.

To get transcoding working you will have to experiment with the other settings in the conf.
I don't know enough about the transcoding process to know exactly what will make it work for you.

Those current settings should be working though and your PC has a good CPU should should not have a problem with transcoding.
My old computer that was nearly 15 year old could do this fine but was sometimes a little too slow to get started so could time out. Restarting immediately would work as it had built up a cache.
This usually happened when there are subtitles that needed to be burnt in to the video.

Do you have a graphics card?
Enabling GPU acceleration will speed up transcoding so there is no delay.

You should also enable GPU encoding if your graphics card supports it.
