New user. I have PLEX server on a windows 10 laptop. It is connected it to my home theater receiver using an HDMI cable. In PMP on laptop I have set the audio settings to:
Device Type: HDMI
Channels: 7.1
Device: Autoselect device
When I listen to music, I like to have the 65" plasma TV turned off. So i will not see what the HT receiver is outputting to TV. Also, in general, I will never use PMP on Windows laptop to control playing music. Windows laptop with server will be in HT equipment closet. Instead I would like to use my iPad to control playing music files on laptop. But when I use the PLEX app on my iPad to select music on the Windows laptop where PLEX server is, it plays the music on my iPad. I don’t want this. I just want the PLEX server on laptop to decode the music file and send PCM over the laptop HDMI cable to the HT receiver.
When I use the web app in Chrome on my iPad, the music playback does not seem to work i.e. the HT receiver does not receive the PCM over HDMI.
thanks
