Audio playback over Bluetooth issue

Server Version#: 4.16.4
Player Version#: Plex for Samsung 4.1.1

Hello everyone,

So for a long time i wanted to watch Plex(running on hp micro server with WIN Server 2016 running plex Server.) on my Samsung tv (samsung nu7179) with headphones.

The problem is, it only has one audio output port that is SPDIF. That port is already used by my sound bar (HW-R 450/ZG) Then I found out that you can split the SPDIF out Signal…

Bought an Y Splitter cable and an Bluetooth Transmitter (TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 adapter)

Plugged everything in and connected my Bluetooth headphones to the Transmitter and tested it with the YouTube app and it works perfectly. I can switch between headphones and Soundbar by simply turning one off what is really nice.

But the main issue is that the Plex app won’t output audio at all no matter what i do. Tried every sound Format from AC3 Stereo to DTS 5.1 and no sound at all over Bluetooth. The sound bar works flawlessly.

Is there an setting or something i have to change?

Is there an alternative way to achieve the same results but that works?

I Also would like to use an AUX 3.5mm Cable cause i notice the latency over Bluetooth slightly so is there an SPDIF to 3.5mm that works with Plex?

Thanks!
