WavPack is an interesting format for music. It has 2 files. One is a lossy compressed audio file, and the other is a delta file that contains the data needed to turn the WavPack file into a full lossless file.
I think WavPack may offer an interesting way to offer lossy and lossless audio without needing to transcribe the files on the fly.
Except that there are not many (if any) client players with native support for WavPack built in. Which then means that Plex server has to transcode the audio nonetheless. Which defeats the intent.
Doesn’t PLEX make the server and the client software?
Or do you mean hardware support?
Of course hardware support. Plex is only using the existing abilities of the hardware. It doesn’t provide a completely different software stack for playing media, like Kodi may do it.
So, I’m curious. All my audio files on my server are FLAC. But Plexamp on my phone says I’m playign back OPUS files. Does that mean that iOS natively support OPUS?
Have you ever tried to run the client for iOS on a TV or a Chromecast?
How could I do that? I don’t know of any TV or Chromecast that runs iOS.
This was not directed at you.
You can’t run the Plex app for iOS on other hardware. That was the whole point.
Each hardware has different abilities. And while it is possible, to implement a software decoder for the opus audio codec on iOS, the same might not be true on other platforms.
