Hey guys, I’ve used plex in my home for a while but decided to share my collection with a friend. It seems that even when I can get plex to do a direct stream, it still transcodes the audio and he only gets 7.1 channel audio instead of dolby atmos.

Any idea what setting I’ve got wrong? The file I tested was one I had ran through handbrake, ensuring that I left passthru enabled.

    Ah. This might make sense. He’s using an apple TV and can get atmos with other services. I also use apple TV and get atmos on my home network. But he isn’t when its an indirect connection.

      Plex on AppleTV is known for not supporting Atmos pass through. I have never actually tried it because I don’t have Atmos at home, but most common suggestion is to pay for Infuse on AppleTV
