How do I know if my PKC is indeed using direct paths? #2157
I've done all the steps and I'm able to play the files. But how do I double confirm it's via direct paths? When I go to my Plex dashboard, it still says direct play

@Shamir26071 true, forgot about this setting. Just use "Direct paths" instead of "try direct paths", restart Kodi to make absolutely sure the setting change sticks, then see if you can play anything

Only have 'Try Direct path option'
No 'Direct paths' only
If the files play - you're good 🤣 . You could check the Kodi log files, but that seems like an unnecessary hassle (https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file)
Then have a look at the log files, @Shamir26071. You can e.g. search for the Direct Path you pluged into the Kodi settings to find the relevant sections quickly.

Is there a way to tell from the Plex server's dashboard?

Then why does the option say "Try direct paths"? That implies that it falls back to something else if it fails.

What do you mean? I don't follow
gshpychka commentedon May 16, 2025
In PKC Settings -> Playback -> Preferred playback method, the option is called
Try Direct Path, as opposed to justDirect Path.Shamir26071 commentedon May 16, 2025
Yeap that's what I have it on as per the instructions.

That's not one of the options.

I think you can see it in Tautulli, the bandwith is 0 when it plays with Direct Path.
