Plex Desktop for Windows: HEVC playback stalls at position 0, forever, with no error

Conclusion: the fault is in Plex's build combination, not in any upstream component. Every upstream ingredient — mpv, libplacebo, the D3D11 hardware path, window embedding — works correctly when assembled the way upstream assembles it. Only Plex's assembly fails.

Workaround: one line, and it measures faster than the hardware path it replaces. Date: 2026-08-22
