Same. I’m running PMS on the NVIDIA Shield Pro, and on the surface it has no problem playing 192/24 from FLAC. However, looking at the media information on my Yamaha, it reports 48/16 is being received. Something somewhere is downsampling playback.
Serious bummer here. Still awaiting answers.
I’m baffled how this can be so obviously broken for so many and yet there is no official word from the Plex team about this? Not a good look…
If it’s a problem with Google or Nvidia then let us know so we can put pressure on them, but as it stands it sure seems like a problem with Plex…and a fundamental one at that.
Exactly! I want Plex to be that too. And it seems to be how it’s marketed. But it’s entirely and utterly broken for the purposes of listening to music. All audio is transcoded and downsampled. None of it plays in multichannel. And even the Tidal support doesn’t support MQA. It’s pretty ridiculous at this point.
I have the same issue with plex on nvidia shield tv. While it does pass high res .flac 192 and some dts-hd .mkv, the result is all garbled and stuttery (sic). The plex kodi addon works fine so there is something definately lacking or broken in the plex client. I’m dissapointed, I thought plex would handle all my audio and music files. Maybe someone will step up and create a working client.
I have some 24bit/96k Flac files and they wont play on Plex app Version 1.6.2.994-e05b79d6 on my 2018 15inch MacBookPro. Server is qnap PSM 1.18.7.2438. It’s been like that for a while.
How can you see if the client is actually putting out a 24 bit file? To see if it is actually sending the file from say a NAS box - Server front end such as a Mac Mini to an AppleTV running the Plex client software to your receiver. How do you measure that? I am curious so I can see what is going on.
My Yamaha Receiver identifies the signal it’s processing. Perhaps you can find a similar feature on your own receiver? Options -> Signal info (or something like that)
