Hi, I have the binhex-plexpass docker installed on Unraid 6. I have a Nvidia Shield tv as my bedroom player. I want to take a look at the XML profile for it, the reason is I have a sonos playbar which is Dolby digital compatible but not Dolby Atmos, dts or dts x, so when I play a video I can’t use pass through.
To make matters worse I have another shield tv in the lounge where there is a receiver which accepts dts and everything else.
How can I go about getting 5.1 all the time in the bedroom (transcoding audio) while enjoying 7.1 dts x/Atmos in the lounge?
I tried cd’ing my way around the docker but couldn’t find the XML files. Being a docker it doesn’t have find or locate installed so I asked binhex and he said he didn’t know either and to ask here. So presumably binhex has installed Plex in fairly generic way, where should I look for the XML profiles?
Not knowing how it’s installed and not being the official Plex container, there’s no way of knowing where they were put. Normally, they are under /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Profiles.
However, the better solution is to create a custom profile for yourself which survives being updated.
You create a Profiles directory under Plex Media Server
In it, you copy the distribution one (from the “Profiles” directory above)
Next, Edit the profile
Lastly, Restart PMS
Hi @ChuckPa just to clarify, you mean i can create a folder under the app data folder for Plex? So in this docker it’s “/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-plexpass/Plexa Media Server/Profiles” and get the default set of xml profiles and put it in there then edit as I need?
Is there anyway in the Shield plex player that I can tell it to transcode to 5.1 on the fly in the player/server without transcoding the video?
