Different Default Audio for Different Plex Clients

Plex Players Smart TVs
1

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2764
Player Version#: LG Web Os Plex TV app

I have a lot of 4K movies that has Dual Audio. Most of the primary audio which is the first audio track is in Dolby Atmos TrueHD and my secondary audio is AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1. Plex clients such as the Nvidia Shield are able to play the first default track (Dolby Atmos TrueHD) using passthrough but for some of my other Plex clients such as the Plex app on my LG WebOS Smart TV, it is unable to read Dolby Atmos TrueHD. Even though there is a secondary audio available, the TV Plex app chooses to transcode the default audio stream instead of using the Secondary audio which would not require any transcoding.

I couldnt seem to find any way to set a default audio for the different Plex Clients that I currently have. Any idea how can I go about doing this ?

Thanks in advance !! Greatly appreciated !!

Was wondering the same thing this morning.
Rather than setting a default audio per client (which I believe needs to be done on the client, not the server), I was looking for a way to tell Plex to scan for compatible audio before transcoding the primary.

Can’t believe you didn’t get any replies in nearly two moths.
