Plex And The Setting They Kept From Us

Plex is what Apple could be if you think it can’t be worst in life.

Plex think it knows what’s best for us and what we should have and deserve,

Plex completely remove audio setting from the Desktop app. If you’re using HDMI to sound system, you can’t tell the player your sound system can handle atmos, DTS x itself. Plex has removed the option for Full Screen TV Mode. They set their own size for movie posters. They don’t have an option for user defined. There are bluray movie poster out there , all keep same ratio. But when you use them as your movie posters, they all get cut. It seems Plex only distributed their app because they can’t have a place big enough for us all to come, You can use but you can’t use setting, more like those work computers.

Umm, those settings are still there in PMP. The Desktop app is aimed at a different usage. Stick to PMP if you need those features. Plex Media Player

This new Plex is for regular two speakers or desktop with internal speakers or for laptop users?

If we have high end audio system or connect to atmos soundbar through HDMI, we can’t get the sound our systems are capable of?

Thanks

The new player is meant to be a replacement for the store app, which is a fairly basic player. This one is a bit more robust in terms of codecs but is not meant for use as a HTPC. If you want all the bells and whistles, keep using PMP.

I have a Dell Alienware Area 51 R7 sending audio through HDMI. I can direct play a movie file and it would play either in Atmos or DTS:X using VLC Player or Windows TV and Movie app. Why Plex is unable to do this much?

He already told you how to do this. He linked the correct program for you to use.

Thanks MovieFan.Plex

Atmos, DTS:X and so one play as intended. I hope the future gets better while keeping all these features. These are what make Plex a great software.

Thanks
