Music: Plex ALAC playback

Hello guys,

I recently have a Plex Pass and now I can see that when my ALAC music files are played with Plex, they are converted to the inferior lossy AAC :frowning_face:
Is there a fix?? Shame that Plex does not allow ALAC or FLAC to be played without transcoding. Even more so when I see that DTS-MA is possible without downgrade in quality.

So PLEASE Plex let ALAC or FLAC be played without transcoding :pleading_face:

I direct play all of my FLAC files without transcoding. What server/client combination are you using? Did you set your client’s audio quality to “original”? I think be default on many clients, it’s set to a lower bitrate.

Are you referring to having ALAC with your video files. Playing ALAC as music should work. Playing ALAC along a video file is not the same and won’t work.

Hi guys,
Indeed, I must have done something wrong. Now I see ALAC is supported :slightly_smiling_face: good job Plex!
