Having multiple devices that use plex to stream that also have different audio decoding capabilities, it would be nice to be able to prioritize available audio tracks either globally or per device to minimize the load on the plex server’s CPU. I have a lot of content that has more than one audio track and it would be a helpful to not have to drill down to select the track I want depending on what device I’m streaming from.
—For example, my smart tv can handle a dts 5.1 audio track but not DTS MA without transcoding occuring, so for the plex app on that tv i would want it to start with dts 5.1 or dolby ac3 if available then move to another format or transcode. For a device that is good with DTS MA, that would be set to the primary and any other audio would be secondary. If that specific video didn’t have a DTS MA track, it would move down the line and select the next track.
