I’m ripping CD’s, and found one old DTS-CD that I’d love to include in my collection in full 5.1 surround. But I haven’t figured out how to rip it properly. I’m using dboweramp, but am open to something else for this disc. After searching through the Plex forums, I’ve seen a few possibilities. I’ve…

I ripped it with Exact Audio Copy to WAV format. That is all. Since WAV files usually don’t support meta data, you’ll have to use folder organization and file names to tell Plex all relevant info. See https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/

Nothing special, just straight rip to WAV with default settings in EAC? If so, wonderful. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow and see how it goes.

Here is an example for my only DTS-CD album: The (sub-)folder structure and the verbose file names are very important. Folder: E:\HD and 5.1 Music\Sting Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 08.02.2018 13:1…

And that doesn’t change after you trigger an analysis manually?

When I click “Analyze” (for either the band or the album), nothing happens. No request for confirmation, and nothing shows in the server’s status section.

Then I think we need to take a look into the log files. Do you have debug logging activated? (please not ‘verbose’)

I can try the Plex Dance in a few, thanks, that’ll be my first move. The server is definitely connected to the internet, and plays movies with DTS regularly. Just checked to play it safe, and yep, a movie with DTS 5.1 just played.
