I have a windows 2008 R2 server with PMS running which streams my media to any of my devices without any problem. There is an excellent thread detailing how to get acestream running on the server to relay to the samsung tv plex app here: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/65731/rel-live-sports-plex-media-server/p1. I used to have this working when the server was ubuntu with PMS, but I had a problem with Ubuntu so set it up again with Windows. While that problem has gone away, acestream will not play on the samsung tv plex app anymore. I have gone through the steps detailed in the above thread many, many times over the last few months to try and understand why this isn't working, I'm sure it is something simple but I cannot figure it out so I need to ask for help.
It is the same hardware in place as the time it was working, just windows instead of ubuntu on the PMS. The only indication I have of where the problem may be is that if I open VLC on another pc on the same network and try and play the IP address that plex should be playing it won't play in VLC either. I have rules in the firewalls to allow acestream, all of my other media works, acestream is playing on the server and previously when I opened the plex option in the samsung app it would just work, now it says "Player could not render this content. Media might be corrupt or the mediatype is not supported".
My understanding is that it is simply relaying the stream to the samsung tv plex app, I have tried all sorts of different stream output chains but all give the same result. I have uploaded the log files from the server just after trying it a few times in case anyone can see why this isn't working from there, but can anyone help or give me a point in the right direction?
