How do I stop unnecessary transcoding of surround sound audio

I use PLEX 99% of the time for lossless stereo audio streaming (FLAC). I am now adding concert videos and other surround sound music like DVD-A and Blu-ray Audio. (DTS)

  • The issue is the PLEX server is down grading the audio to AAC.
  • Ideally we would have the options to turn off Audio transcoding.
  • Also while the Fire Cube does support the file format, it shouldn’t matter because all the audio is being “passed-through” to the A/V receiver.
  • There needs to be a “A/V Receiver” option in PLEX apps.
