Thanks.
I have a PlexPass and decided to upgrade Plex Media Server (PMS) 1.26 Beta (after reading it fixes HW transcoding, if I read release notes ‘Fixes’ section correctly).
The good news is that with PMS 1.26.0.5715 Beta, my 4K 7.1 TrueHD clip is(the 2 I tested so far) are now playing fine, again, using the Plex app my Roku Ultra.
There is one 1080P TrueHD 7.1 clip that plays fine on Android’s PlexTV app (TV OS is Android), but it does not play on my Roku Ultra’s Plex app so far (I have yet to try setting DirectPlay to ‘Force’ for that one clip).
Hope this helps someone.
Important note - While I upgraded Plex Media Server (PMS) today from 1.23 to 1.26.0.5715 Beta, I am still on Shield Experience 8.x (I have not upgraded my Shield Experience to 9 (Android 11) yet (for the reasons stated).
Edit - I will see regarding the audio dropouts noted by member ‘terrorindeed’
