PMS is transcoding stereo OPUS to AAC when playing back on any browser (FF, Brave, MS Edge) when those browsers have had native OPUS support for years. Video/Audio was encoded using the latest Handbrake Nightly as of writing. Testing shows it direct playing w/o issue on Plex Desktop, Android, and iOS apps.
I checked PMS debug logs and found:
MDE: Selected protocol dash; container: mp4
MDE: analyzing media item 78815
MDE: E1 - Rick and Morty - S01E01 - Pilot: Direct Play is disabled
MDE: E1 - Rick and Morty - S01E01 - Pilot: media must be transcoded in order to use the dash protocol
MDE: E1 - Rick and Morty - S01E01 - Pilot: no direct play video profile exists for http/mp4/h264
MDE: E1 - Rick and Morty - S01E01 - Pilot: no direct play video profile exists for http/mp4/h264/opus
MDE: Cannot direct stream audio stream due to codec opus when profile only allows aac
MDE: Rick and Morty - S1 E1 - Rick and Morty - S01E01 - Pilot: selected media 0 / 78815
Made no difference whether I used mp4 or mkv for it, nor whether subtitles were enabled or not. I did find another thread from a couple years ago that never got closure, but I’m not really sure if it’s related.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
