I just ripped my blu ray of Forrest Gump with the DTS-HD audio and DTS core yet both display as DTS.
Have plex really decided this makes sense to label all DTS streams as just that? As to be honest it just looks broken.
Yep. You can see which one is MA via ‘Get info’. It’ll still display as DTS Master on your receiver.

Thankyou but I am aware of that, but it would be nice if it displayed in that front end so to speak.

No no no that makes sense, Plex isn’t in that business when it comes to their UX / UI.

What are you saying? You can’t happen to randomly blindly guess and get it right every time?! That’s ridiculous! According to Plex you should automatically know which one is the DTS-HD Master Audio.
Side note, the change happened a bit ago and is very ridiculous and inconvenient. There have been many posts about this issue, at this point I feel Plex is just too suborn to change it back and admit they made a poor decision.
Whats worse is that no where in the web UI is it aware of object based audio ie. DTS-X or ATMOS. I understand that the objects are embedded in DTS-MA and TrueHD respectively but at least mediainfo understands it correctly. This is including in get info
@OP - Why put both the core and the master stream in? The master stream contains the core and if your device is unable to playback the master it will fallback, same with objects.
ie. it goes objects->ma or truehd -> dts or ac3
While I was looking at the possibility of changing media/flag logos I stumbled upon this on github -
Of interest the dca-ma.png was changed 3 months ago with the comment “Respect DTS-MA trademark” -if this is the case that is understandable, however it would be great if they actually told us without myself accidentally stumbling across it while trying to find a way to do something that is very common on other platforms.
A solution would be to allow us to use skins/themes, or atlest in certain aspects of the GUI such as channel logos, studio logos, audio logos, video logos etc. There is a whole community that would jump on that given the chance i’m pretty sure!

There is a workaround where you install a old PMS version, rip the file out of the mediaflags bundle from that install, save it somewhere, uninstall and reinstall the new one and replace the image which works although since 1.4.2 and above the new Plex Web is hosted locally and doesn’t have any audio or video codec logos anyway so asking for it is now a bit redudant.
See my thread for other issues, sorry I mean, “design” decisions…
