Has anyone who was experiencing issues with their server refusing to transcode EAC-3 audio found that it is suddenly fixed this week? It was only an issue for my users that have a device that can not handle EAC-3 natively, such as Plex Web and old Chromecasts. I tried just about every workaround in the past (manually deleting codecs folder, changing inotify values, etc.) and it always persisted as an issue up until a day or two ago when I noticed a user transcoding EAC-3 successfully. I have not made any recent server changes on my end and wanted to see if this might be due to some change on Plex’s end or some unseen change on my server.
