-**If a stream doesn't play:**
-1.  Ensure **"Auto Transcode"** is enabled in **Settings → Transcoding**.
-2.  If you have video but no audio, check that **"Force Audio Transcode"** is enabled (it should trigger automatically).
-3.  If buffering persists, try switching the **Hardware Encoder** setting or reducing the **Max Transcode Resolution**.
 
-**Note on Ad-Stitched Streams:**
-For channels like Pluto TV, the player handles audio discontinuities automatically. Transcoding is rarely needed unless the base codec is incompatible.
