DTS only transcoded to 2.0 channels

Plex Players Smart TVs
24

Plex’s transcodes (some are DASH and others are HLS) protocols are not something I understand well.

I do know AAC encoding isn’t licensed but AC-3 encoding is licensed by Dolby.
(All their stuff is licensed at the per-item level)

I have asked and awaiting the answer but won’t be surprised if this entirely licensing driven.

UPDATE:

  1. AC-3 patent expired
  2. E-AC-3 still licensed.
  3. Still waiting on rest of the feedback
