Just a shout out that we’ve added the global zoom setting in 1.2. Does that eliminate the need for conf edits?
This is unintentional. We’re investigating.
Thanks for the feedback. Best I can suggest is to restart the app, play a video with a DTS track, then exit the app. Afterwards sharing Plex HTPC.log would be great. We should see which configuration is in action.
Hey @axemanuk666 the back button change is in 1.2.0. Your Back button doing good things now?

Back button works!

Changelog to 1.2 mentions:
- Input: Correct [cec] section in plex.ini containing verboseLogging, activateSource, HDMIPort, and useKeyUpDown settings.
Could you provide information about the format of these settings in the .ini
Thanks
Kai
Could we please get direct download links for this build? The update errored out on a missing zip file error here on my Mac and won’t present itself again no matter how much I try to prod it
Direct download links can be found here: Introducing Plex HTPC!
Followed up on this. In our older apps the user select was shown whenever waking from screensaver. Now the user select is only shown when the last user has a PIN. It’s not a perfect 1:1 with PMP behavior but with a PIN on each user you can get close.
Hi @deactivated - Yup, back button works a treat now, thanks.
I even decided to fully uninstall, and then reinstall just for good measure!
Haven’t had much of a chance to nose around much more, but will do in the next few days, although, judging by others on here…
It’s lookin’ good!

Thanks for the response.
Hmm. Not sure if that is better.
Extra steps are very annoying when you don’t want them there, even if they are minor.
Any chance of this being changed back to how it used to work in PMP?
Thanks! That’s a big help.
Most codecs are working fine, but EAC3 and TRUEHD are not downsampling to my approved codecs (DTS & AC3), they are just sending stereo signal.

Ah great! The post has been updated with the 1.2.0 links, it wasn’t the case when I posted, thanks !
The new 1.2 app has fixed both the screen tearing and the windows HDR being turned off issue. Thank you very much. Now it is more usable compared to 1.1.
Only thing still missing from PMP are the long skips using the up/down arrow keys…
And of course proper HDR support.

Does the global zoom affect 16:9 content too? If so, conf edits are still required for those who care about displaying media at the correct aspect ratio on their 21:9 screen.
In the plex.ini, you should be able to add settings such as:
[cec]
verboseLogging=…
activateSource=…
HDMIPort=…
useKeyUpDown=…
The global zoom does the same as setting the zoom during playback:
| Zoom | video-aspect |
keepaspect |
panscan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | -1 |
true |
0.0 |
| Zoom | -1 |
true |
1.0 |
| Force 4:3 | 4:3 |
true |
0.0 |
| Force 16:9 | 16:9 |
true |
0.0 |
| Stretch | -1 |
false |
0.0 |
Then to answer @deactivated question, mpv.conf edits are still required for correct playback at 21:9 resolutions. While zoom would fix 2:39:1 aspect ratio movies, it’s not a all inclusive fix as it also zooms 16:9 content on a 21:9 display. I will stick with my conf edits as I prefer the native aspect ratio of the content to be utilized correctly.
Can you please confirm where the mpv.conf should be placed as I can’t seem to get my tweaks (--keepaspect --monitoraspect=21:9) working with 1.2.0? Is there a bug where it’s not reading the mpv.conf?
Inside %AppData%\Local\Plex HTPC or inside C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex HTPC
similarly, if I pause playback to switch inputs to a 60Hz one and come back to the input the Mini is on, it seems that MacOS resets its refresh rate to 60Hz and Plex HTPC doesn’t notice the refresh rate changed. Resuming playback, Plex HTPC doesn’t change the refresh rate back to 24p either. I have to cancel playback and restart. PMP has the same behavior.
It really sounds like your AVR is reporting a different display to devices which are not currently selected as the input.
I have just tested the same thing with another AVR, different brand, higher end, a Yamaha RX-A1080, the behavior is indeed different, it switches back to 24p correctly.
I presume that this means when you changed inputs back to the HTPC, the display switched back to 24p. Assuming what you mean, then what is happening is the HTPC never stopped outputting 24p and by changing the input the display is just changing to match the input.
I also have a Yamaha AVR (much older and lower) and I can confirm that the HTPC does not see any sort of display change when the AVR input is changed and changed back.
