The Plex data path is the chain linking state, media, temporary processing, network delivery, and the client—not one folder on disk.

Hardware transcoding smooths incompatible playback by building a new stream the client can accept; it does not turn that session into Direct Play.

Delayed Direct Play usually comes from client negotiation or delivery-path delay, not from video transcoding that Direct Play is supposed to avoid.

GPU memory rises when mixed clients keep different decode, transform, and encode working sets alive at the same time.

Temporal consistency keeps video AI predictions coherent across frames, preserving identity and stable state while still responding to real changes.

A multimodal embedding places media types in a comparable semantic space, enabling text-to-photo, video, or audio retrieval across private archives.

A tool-execution trust boundary separates model intent from privileged side effects, requiring validation and authority before an action crosses it.

Agentic RAG controls retrieval decisions and iterations; it stops being simple search when evidence gathering becomes a stateful decision loop.
