Plex server release problem May 2025

There is a problem with PMS 1.41.7 builds transcoding TrueHD (and maybe other formats) to EAC3.

Plex Roku & LG clients are affected, as transcoding TrueHD to EAC3 is the default for those clients.

Plex devs are aware of the problem and working on a fix.

The workaround is to fall back to 1.41.6 or earlier. If running PMS on Windows, check the Updates folder in the Plex Data Folder. Plex keeps a limited number of prior installs in that location.

It is unknown when a fix will be available. You can subscribe to the Plex Media Server release thread to be notified of new releases. Scroll to the bottom of the thread and change Normal to Watching.
