Plexamp has recently decided to only play Tidal  
AAC 320 rather than flac tracks when playing from within my library. If I choose Tidal as my source Plexamp plays flac tracks as it should. This is a recent issue and may or may not be a result of me downgrading from Tidal hi-fi plus to Tidal hi-fi, which I did because Plexamp will only play Red book 16/44 making the hi Res option redundant and a waste of money. I’ve tried reconnecting my Tidal account to Plex but no change after that.  
Anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is and how rectify it. TIA.

Bumping for attention, but I would really like to know why Plexamp is pulling AAC streams rather than Flac and is there something I can do to rectify this?

Should be fixed in the next server + Plexamp release.
