Plexamp Feature Request: Direct Stream WavPack

Plex Labs

Basically the title. I noticed Plexamp cannot direct stream WavPack (any bit level) — both Mac and iOS clients. It would be nice to direct stream wavpack to Mac and iOS without conversion to Opus.

Another (small) hope: if support is added to iOS, if Plexamp can support the lossy + lossless WavPack (lossy + correction file) and stream just the lossy portion to iOS. DOUBLE BONUS POINTS if this is configured to react differently if on WiFi or cellular. Just a small hope!

The underlying audio player we use has support for WavPack, so it’s possibly something we could offer in the future.

+10,000 for WavPack support. All of my DSD files are compressed as WavPack and this is a big miss for me. I’m ok with it converting to PCM but I can’t even get Plex to read any of .wv files.
