Jellyfin versus Plex on Android for audio playback - rap1958 - 2023-12-27
I am currently using Plex - having switched from WMC a couple of years ago. Plex Server is running on a Windows machine - where previously I used that server to feed multiple HTPC's using WMC/My Movies. The Plex movie stuff is generally pretty good, but the music/audio support is poor; in particular support for multi-channel audio-only formats.
So I am looking at other options...
I am currently using two NVidia Shield TV Pro's for clients but with Plex I cannot find a way to do a proper passthrough to an AVR on audio-only formats... typically DTS HDMA files. I have 3 surround rooms in my home; including a recording studio, home-theatre and living room.
I just don't get why Plex can manage passthrough on DTS HDMA audio/video formats; but not audio-only formats.
I am looking for a solution that does BOTH on an NVidia Shield and a Windows 10/11 HTPC.
If there are surround-audio enthusiasts here, that have a solution via JellyFin, I'm "all ears." Thanks to all that respond...
