Can/does PLEX read (or convert) Windows Media Center (.wtv) files?
I am transitioning from a MCE Windows 8.1 PC to Windows 10, (hopefully) with a PLEX solution.
Right now, all of my shows are recorded by W-MCE but I would like to watch them in another room with PLEX.
Any suggestions, recommendations, 3rd-party ‘on-the-fly’ conversion apps I can install and watch a folder using?
Thanks for any help community. 
P.S. I am programming a ‘learning remote’ with Event Ghost (http://www.eventghost.net/) and it’s going very well. Not sure if anyone has done that to control PLEX. (Significant other refuses to use a keyboard to watch TV.)
Thanks Trumpy81. Do you know if ‘Optimize’ can read the WTF file format? That would certainly make things easier for me.
Is there a list of input video file formats somewhere?
P.S. My TV would love to know what HDMI feels like, but alas… it’s a really early flat screen.
There is a list here: File Formats Supported
Not sure how old it is or what is STILL supported
Thanks for the info SteveG144. But that list is for their “Smart TV” platform.
I need to know if PLEX server can convert the Windows TV (.wtv) format to MP4 in the background optimize option.
I have one such file in my test library.
I can’t guarantee that the ‘optimized’ version of this will still have perfect A/V sync, because real-world TV recordings often have short interruptions in the data streams and ffmpeg is not perfectly immunized against these.
I guess I’m foggy on your post OttoKerner. Are you saying PLEX does indeed recognize the .wtv format, and you’ve done an optimization successfully? (And I do understand the syncing issue.)
Yes. If it can play this movie on all my clients, it can also optimize it.
