Plex stopped playing. Constant transcode AC3 to AAC. Version 3.57.1

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

I can’t play anything!

Everything is transcoding from AC3 to AAC, even though it says streaming AC3 on the client end.

I’m running linux mint and just upgraded to Plex Version 3.57.1.

Videos I watched last night easily, now stall in transcoding.

Linux mint on both ends Chrome on the client side, LAN gigabit network between.

The same thing occurs after optimizing to TV.

Same file, LAN:
PS4 Video Direct Stream, Audio Direct Stream - works.
Linux Chrome (firefox and chromium the same), Video Direct Stream, Audio AC3 to AAC - transcode and fails.

Please recreate the problem (DEBUG logging enabled only)
settings - server - help - download logs
attach the ZIP file it gives you

Ok Very strange, issue has resolved, no reboot, no change in server load, no change to files.

Transcoding still shows as AC3 to AAC on server and AC3 5.1 on client.
