Determining what codecs the plex client on my samsung TV qn90c support

Is there any way to get a list of what codecs my TV supports specifically the audio codecs? Does the client talk back to the server and send a list of it?

Yes, the manual.

Does the client talk back to the server and send a list of it?

Don’t think so. The client only see’s what codec’s are available in the file, then you choose one.

Official developer specs here:

You can check your TV Model Group from the same site:

They use weird model names though. I think yours is QCQ90 putting it in the 23TV_PREMIUM3-(UHD) category.

Do note that just because your TV supports it doesn’t mean Plex will play it (without transcoding). AV1 video codec for instance. Numerous audio formats. You’ll need to force Direct Play in the player settings as Plex seems to just use a one-size-fits-all very safe profile for Samsung and LG TVs.
