I’ll have to wait for a new Plex server for FreeNAS.

I’m frankly growing tired of having Plex always transcode audio to my Windows 10 HTPC with the Plex app for Windows. It’s like Plex is the only app I have that cannot take DD, DTS and play that out but instead tries to transcode every file I have on my NAS and I wind up copying the file to my HTPC and invoking VLC instead. I’m about 2 weeks away from just junking Plex.
