Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639 Player Version#: 10.6.0.5141 Got a new TV. Old TV was Roku, new is Google TV. Signed myself up for Beta and installed Plex app. Tested everything prior to installing. All worked great. So went ahead and pulled old TV and installed the new one in to place. Now today …

So after much fussing yesterday, it somehow decided to switch back to EAC3 and away I went. I’m not sure what resulted in the change as I was doing all manner of tests. Well today again now I’ve gone to continue watching, and it has decided to go back to Opus, and I am again only getting stereo. I…

With the video playing, go check out your Plex Dashboard and see what it says as to why the media is being transcoded. It will provide some reason there. Most likely it will say that they client does not support TRUEHD. Check out this link for supported CODECs: מדיה נתמכת עבור Google Cast | Google…

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I’m beyond all of that already. Yes, TrueHD is not supported by this client, which is why it transcodes. This part I’m already aware of and fine with. The issue is that sometimes it decides to transcode to EAC3, which works, and sometimes it decides to tran…

Ahhh gotcha. I’ve had similar issues with my Hisense L9G projector that runs Google TV. Do you have an Xbox One X or something similar that you could try running Plex client on to see if you have the same behavior? It seems that device plays better all around than Google TV does…

I have an Xbox, which direct plays everything as it should. However, I don’t want to have to turn on another device, nor use a controller just to Plex. I had managed to find that thread myself in my searching, and yes, if I incorrectly set the passthrough to optical, it forces transcoding, but it’s…

Understandable! If you figure it out, please post your follow-up :+1:t3: I don’t care much to fire up the Xbox either, but I always do when I want the “best quality” theater experience from Plex :grin:

Welp, feeling a bit overwhelmed and discouraged at this point. Between the guide and examples I think I have enough of a grasp on how it should look, even if I feel a bit out of my depth. However, I haven’t had any success in tracking down what file formats are supported by my TV (some manufacturer…

they say hate is a strong word, but I “HATE” when Plex insists on doing things their way for things that add no value; just frustration. for years I kept 1080p, 720p and 540p files in one folder with multiple audios each (for some Movies/Shows). Plex always chose the right file; at some point Plex …

[image] perplexity: Not really enthused about any to be honest. I just want Plex to consistently choose EAC3 and never Opus, instead of randomly one or the other :man_shrugging: Could you replicate the problem you are having, and then fetch the logs? Steps for fetching the logs from Android T…

Here’s an interesting thread that may have a suggestion or two for further testing: Force transcoding of specific audio codecs on Shield TV?
