Hey Plex do you have audio working for ATSC 3.0 channels yet. I am in the DC area want to watch WJLA 24 its only broadcast on the ATSC band and really not enjoyable to watch with no audio please fix ASAP
There’s a long thread on this somewhere.
TL;DR: Waiting on Dolby & Plex lawyers to work out the legal stuff regarding an AC-4 audio license.
WJLA, the local ABC affiliate, broadcasts an ATSC 1.0 signal (VHF Ch 7), which is supported by Plex. Broadcasters are required to maintain their ATSC 1.0 signal during the move to ATSC 3.0 broadcasts.
Thank you so much for the kind thought but I did a bit of research this particular channel WJLA 247 which is dedicated to 24 hour traffic news and weather is only broadcast on 158.4. So to watch it in Plex I need atsc 3.0 support. The he home run app can decode the audio just fine
As a side note it seems a few channels do not have guide data. The ones I watch is wdvm which we are able to pull in from Hagerstown so slightly out of what Plex would consider our viewing area. Other than faking the channel out and labeling it as something it’s not how can you get these channels added to channel view optimally with guide data but worst case with just channel information and no guide data
