plex

Hi all, I'm watching my movies by playing 4k remux files on my windows 10 PC and using Plex. My PC is connected to my Denon AVR which is powering my 7.1 speakers. What sounds better: 1) enabling the passthrough settings in Plex and letting my AVR do the decoding or 2) disabling the...

I have a home theater setup (5.2.4) at home. I use Power Sound Audio speakers/subs and, for the most part, they sound incredible. Every once in a while I hear a pop or crackle when watching a youtube video or the bass hits a bit too hard and causes vibrations in my light fixtures (I need to...

Does Xbox one X support true HD for regular movie playback (not Blu ray)? I was playing some content through Plex and the true HD is converted to PCM since I have it configured to uncompressed 5.1 in Xbox settings. Once I modified to the bitstream, I have 3 options to pick, DTS or Dolby Digital...

Finally, after years and years, I bought a new TV. 2019 TCL 6 Series. I have a collection of media I'd like to direct play to the TV to enable HDR/Dolby. I've learned that to enable HDR/Dolby I also need the correct audio processing or else my Plex media server will begin transcoding...

Since the H9F just hit the streets this month, and is getting some good reviews I thought I would start a official owners thread. This is high on my black Friday shopping list for a gaming TV :D

Hi all, I’m running the plex media server on an old Windows 10 machine plugged into my AVR in my basement. 4k movies are always buffering. but when I play these same movies on kodi or media player classic, its silky smooth. so I installed the Plex Media player and when I use that, the video is...

Wondering if anyone has found a photo-centric solution for serving media from a networked pc, to screens around the house?  I currently use Plex running on the Windows 10 where all my photos are stored, with Apple TV 4th Gen. running the Plex app attached to various TV's to display the photos. ...

I have EyeTV running on my Mac Mini with 2 HDHomeRun Duals, and things are working properly. I see that Plex has a product that should do the same things. I also see that I would pay $120 for a "lifetime" sub. Does Plex have more going for it than what I'm used to with EyeTV? Thanks in advance!

Im a heavy user of plex, and i find it increasingly difficult to watch movies on my Vizio M60-C3. I have a NAS setup with a collection of movies varying in size, anywhere from 3gb to 30gb. The NAS is connected via Ethernet with a gigabit connection locally. Initially, I had my tv connected...

After lots or research I decided to use unRAID and PLEX for my first real dedicated media server build. The server will also perform some backup functions. I have been messing around with the idea for a few years. Jon S helped me out a lot in the Ripping BluRays II thread, thank you (I went...

I know Plex Pass users have access to the Plex Labs feature Webhooks but it looks like the development for using those commands is still in early stages. I was wondering if anyone is using those Webhooks or other http commands to integrate Plex with their home automation system. For example, I...

Hi all i have a set-top box from China about 10+years old. its been great, but it now freezes and the remote broke. I have the $ to get a decent one, specially since i am hoping to get rid of cable too. i tried using KODI once and PLEX but the PLEX server would hang up my regular PC and it...

Hi, I just started with the hi res music. As I'm a beginner in this domain I m looking for the right knowledge of doing this. As you can see I have just joined AVS to discuss and get help from the pros here. I have had help choosing my "basic" gear for my audio setup reading threads from AVS...

For $1400+Tax this weekend I picked up a 70" Vizio E-Series UHD TV and an open box Samsung HW-K850 Atmos 3.2.1 Soundbar for the living room so I'm feeling pretty good about that purchase. :D Elsewhere in the house I have a Windows PC dedicated to running Plex, I can hard-wire gigabit Ethernet...

Here is my goal, i'd love to bitstream content so i can see the pretty logo on my avr but i don't think i'm able to and achieve the results i'm looking for. Besides games i utilize plex very frequently. For some reason on the the xbox if you want to bitstream you need to choose betwen dolby...

I would like to apologize in advance for how long this post will be, but I am looking to start a project that is going to require a lot of questions and research on my part. I want to lay out the details of what I am looking for in the initial post and then I will ask more specific questions as...

I am writing this post in hopes to better understand and plan out my future home theater configuration. My current configuration is as follows: I run Plex Media Server on a QNAP TVS-471-i3-4G-US. I have it plugged into the router. I have 2 TVs with a PS4 on each TV and each one runs the Plex...

I have the TV connected to the receiver via the ARC enabled HDMI. When trying to watch anything on my server with Dolby Digital through the Plex app, I get no audio through the receiver. If I switch to the internal speakers, the audio works fine, so it's not a problem with the file or the...
