I am testing my Xbox Series X’s ability to Direct Play files.

I downloaded the test file from Techno Dad on youtube - How Does Dolby Atmos Matrix? Is Your Dolby Atmos Setup Working Right? Test Your Home Theater! - YouTube. Filename: “TDs Atmos Matrix Video”

When I Direct Play (and disable Direct Stream), the audio doesnt work properly - no height channels or rear channels. eac3 is converted to ac3.

I get an these error messages when playing this file:

  1. Cannot direct play with protocol: http, codec h264. Reason: Video stream exceeded resolution of 1920x1080
  2. Cannot direct stream with protocol: dash, codec h264. Reason: Video stream exceeded resolution of 1920x1080
  3. User disabled direct stream in settings.
  4. Direct play not available; conversion OK.

When I enable direct stream, it seems to play fine with respct to audio (even though I get error messages 1,2&4.

Is this a problem with the file or with Plex?

The reason I ask is because when I play this file via USB stick to Xbox Series X, it works fine.
