Enhanced Video Player: VC1

Plex Players Player Betas

I’m wondering if VC1 support is on the cards at all for the new player ?. I do 1:1 Bluray Rips, and there is still quite a number using VC1 still.

Thanks!

With the new build 1.37 (11125) VC1/DTS/DTSMA/AC3 will direct play for me, but with TRUEHD, it will transcode the audio, which in turn causes the video to be transcoded. I believe this to be normal operation for now, until we hear how Plex is going to deal with the HD audio, hopefully licensing, so it can be decoded to LPCM like other players do, until Apple wakes up and realizes full fledged bitstream audio passthrough is needed if you want to be king of the streamers.

Thanks for that. How do you install the new build?
