Plex doesn't always read media with multiple channels as anything other than stereo

Holy cow, it now works??? I now see the 5.1

I haven’t recoded this stream for a couple of days. I have done the plex dance on it twice, making sure to empty the media, and making sure it’s no longer there. I even made sure the media id increments when it loads it back in.

Nothing worked. But it now has 5.1

Wow.

I don’t mean to be insulting, but Plex has become VERY unstable. It has become VERY unreliable.

At any rate, I guess what I need to do is go to my media that is not showing 5.1, and just continue to do Analyze until it works? Not sure what else to say?

I’ve spent a lot of hours trying to get this one to work, and it just magically started working.

I don’t know what to say.

Thank you so much for looking into it, it appears we are just chasing Plex ghosts.
