Nvidia Shield (As a Client) - Transcoding Problem EAC3 - AAC

[MoonPie]

Dont know if you have seen this article but it worked for me…

Nvidia Shield EAC3 audio stopped working

For the past several months, I believe since recent Shield updates, EAC3 has stopped working. I’ve tried everything in my Shield, Plex Shield App and PMS settings to no avail. I can have 5 transcodes going out at once with no issues yet I can’t even play files with EAC3 through transcoding. I’ve tried various versions of PMS going back several months too. Any ideas on how to fix? For now I can only watch those files in my office or bedroom as the Firestick 4k plays them fine. Thanks!

Basically turn off new video player in Plex app.
