Greetings.
Quick summary of my troubles: A52 Audio (AC3) plays as Stereo instead of 5.1.
I have a lot of files that has the A52 Audio (AC3) codec according to VLC (when I check the raw file on my Macbook). When I play these files on my Apple TV through Plex my receiver identifies the audio stream as “Stereo” and I don’t know if something is wrong or not.
Server: QNAP NAS Plex server version 0.9.16.4
Player: Apple TV fourth generation version 1.0.6 (811)
The Apple TV is connected through an HDMI cable to my receiver.
Plex SERVER (on Qnap) audio setting: Transcoder Quality: Automatic
Plex CLIENT (on Apple TV) audio setting: Remote Audio Quality: Original
Apple TV audio settings: Audio Mode: Auto
Allow direct streaming: On
Allow Direct Play: On
I cannot find any reason why it should not be in 5.1 (which I think is the right format for A52 Audio AC3).
Further more (don’t know if this is related or a separate issue) my receiver only says “multi channels” when I play Dolby Digital or DTS from Apple TV. When I play it from my BlueRay player it says “Dolby Digital” or “DTS” respectively.
Any help is much appriciated.
