Sync Original Quality still does a conversion

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hi. I use synology 920+ and using File Station I opened up the volume and I followed the directory path listed in @nlaslett solution but there is no “Profiles” folder !!! In the “Plex Media Server” folder I have “Cache”, “Codecs”, “crash reports”, “diagnostics”, “logs”, “media”, “metadata”, “plug-in support”, “plug-ins” but NO “PROFILES”! Can anyone help?

I’m uploading my 500GB music collection to my truck… it’s “converting” every single MP3 file

I put the Custom_Android or Custom_NoTranscoding xml to /Plex\ Media\ Server/Profiles/Android.xml in my Freenas and instead of transcoding, i get error saying something like Invalid metadata error. Please help!

this xml seems to work!

No unfortunately with changed xml the file is synced but does not play.
Directly from the server, the media of course plays. It can’t be a codec problem, the sync is just broken.
