Can we have Plex scrub all of the embedded audio formats to determine if there is a system compatible audio format first, before automatically transcoding?
Have Plex select compatible audio source. Many movies or shows are packed with multiple audio tracks from TrueHD, DTS, DD, or stereo with differing bitrates. Many of my movies have a high bitrate DTS or TrueHD audio track that is not compatible with some of my clients, but the movie also contains other compatibility tracks that are AC3 or AAC with lower bitrates. Since the DTS or TrueHD track is set as the primary/default audio track and my client can't support, Plex automatically transcode the audio vs selecting one of other compatible formats. If I want to use a compatible track, I have to go in and manually select the track.
