Hi Plex Team
We like you to add a tailed profile for the Apple TV 4k, A10X, that support more, than the current tvOS.xml
describe. Similar what is done to iOS or dynamically like is done to Sony TV’s.
The files i refer to:
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Profiles/
...
├── iOS-iPad-1,1.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-1,1.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-1,2.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-2,1.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-3,1.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-3,2.xml
├── iOS-iPhone-3,3.xml
├── iOS-iPod-1,1.xml
├── iOS-iPod-2,1.xml
├── iOS-iPod-3,1.xml
├── iOS-iPod-4,1.xml
├── iOS.xml
...
├── tvOS.xml
...
I have tested this profile and it seams to work for me.

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate
It appears the new Apple TV 4K is using the same profile for the older Apple TV that doesn’t support x265 or 4K videos. Since it’s using the older profile it’s transcoding x265 and 4K videos. Looking at other posts, Can a new profile for the Apple TV 4K be added. Similar to the Roku’s and Sony TV’s. They have separate profiles for their different devices.
