Server Version#: 1.21.1.3795 Player Version#: 6.7.4.6764 I’m having some major issues with one of my clients and audio transcoding. I’m not sure if this just started happening with the latest server update or what. I’ve tested all of my other devices and they all transcode to AC3 640kbps just fi…

[image] flickyourbic: Or if anybody knows why I can’t find the XML on my Synology server in the meantime. Synology hides a lot of the raw structure for package\app folders so you’ll need to use SSH and Terminal to mess with them. There isn’t an “unhide” option for these. I have a Synology as…

Still having issue with all my 7.1 AAC content being transcoded to Stereo MP3. Was hoping maybe a server update would have been out but no luck.

Holiday time in the states is usually a “don’t expect any updates” time so I’m not terribly surprised; I’m hoping to see an update for servers and client in first half of January. I know nothing worthwhile is getting done at my job these couple of weeks. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah that’s completely understandable, I made that post more as a “bump” hoping someone from Plex would at least acknowledge the issue. There are other threads as well such as yours and minicarters that nobody from Plex has acknowledged yet either. I’m trying to allow several days before responding …

Interesting thread, since I seem to have it all working perfect now when using my Roku 4K Ultra (I’m the guy that tagged some people in the Android TV thread). Whatever I throw at it now, it gets played. Some lossless stuff gets converted to EAC3 (5.1 or 7.1) but all the rest is just plain pass th…

[image] molano999: seems to be when using MP4 - I stick to mkv The transcoding to MP3 would happen to me with AC3\EAC3 5.1 converting to MP3 stereo on my Roku Ultra (and TCL) with MKV files. Others are getting 7.1 converting to MP3 stereo instead of 5.1 - 5.1 to stereo transcoding was able t…

I did some tests and I can’t seem to replicate this on my Roku Ultra stick. I did several tests with EAC3 5.1 audio and all play nicely on my setup… So I can’t be of any help here… I will test some more. I however did notice out of sync when watching something yesterday. Recording was in AC3 St…

Appreciate you doing the tests. I just find it so strange that my problem is only with 7.1 AAC while others have the same problem but with 5.1. I really feel for you guys having trouble with 5.1. Most my 1080p collection is 5.1 so I’m fine watching most my content. I mean 7.1 AAC to Stereo MP3 is …

[image] flickyourbic: I just find it so strange that my problem is only with 7.1 AAC while others have the same problem but with 5.1. It’s not hard to get native support for AC3 5.1 (my TV will do it and it’s a 2013 Samsung non-smart TV). I was only getting 5.1 transcoding to stereo because I…

If it can be of any help: I have set my audio settings manually and not auto. As said, I can’t replicate the issue where EAC3 is converted to MP3 stereo. Maybe this setting does the trick?
