For ATSC 3.0 audio to work, please enable AC-4 audio

Just purchased a HDHR 4K tuner - I’m extremely disappointed that there’s not audio on the ATSC 3.0 channels.

Does Plex EVER plan to fix this issue, AC-4?

emby now transcodes AC4 fine…

I’m a lifetime PlexPass subscriber.

So great, I gotta pay another $110 for a lifetime subscription to Emby’s DVR service so I can view-hear and record ATSC-3.0 content.

Come on Plex, fix this please!!!

Hey all. Any updates on this topic? Plex, this is an important feature for the future of OTA recording.

Plus replying as I don’t want the topic to close out.

That was nearly a month ago… …yet just another way to stall any investment.

I am looking everyday I love Plex and can’t wait for the NEW channels that are active in my market.

Yeah, I know it’s probably a long time off, but I’m really looking forward to AC-4 support. I have a bunch of stations around me on ATSC 3.0 and would love to use them in Plex. I sit between two big cities that have both added channels. Right now I’m using Emby for these stations but would prefer to keep everything in Plex.

Still no audio!

Another vote for this necessary enhancement…

Per wikipedia, “Dolby AC-4 has a consumer royalty rate of US$0.15 to US$1.20 depending on the type of device and volume of sales.”

Come on, Plex. This is nothing. If necessary, let us pay for the cost as a $1.20 add-on.
