First of all, I am new to Plex, but I’m already getting the hang of it now.
I have the Plex TV app on a Mi Box S and the Plex server installed on an old and weak Ubuntu PC, but I thought this wouldn’t be an issue because both are on the same LAN and so mostly no transcoding is required.
However, I noticed while playing one of my movies that the quality is very low although the original file is 10+ GBs, so the original AV quality is top notch.
When checking the stats on my Plex TV app player (the internal one, which I think is called ExoPlayer) I found that the reason for the poor transcoding is that the audio codec is not supported by the internal player.
After doing a bit of research I didn’t like the idea of using an external player and even if I did I couldn’t find the option for it on my Plex TV app.
So I opted for conversion, and man did it work like a charm! I liked it and liked the idea of pre-transcoding some of my incompatible movies to TV quality setting.
The only problem is (aside -of course- from the extremely slow conversion rate on my old PC) is that I don’t know which AV codecs are supported by the current latest ExoPlayer.
If I had such a list, I would scour my media library for any movies not conforming to this list and add it as a conversion task.
So can anybody help me with that? I mean finding the supported AV codes for the internal player for Plex TV for Android TV devices?
