TrueHD audio will be transcoded, probably to AAC. For dts-HD audio, only the core dts 5.1 is sent. I’m not sure what audio codecs are supported by the Cambridge Audio Edge NQ.Īssuming they’re supported on the Cambridge, the TV will pass AAC, AC3, EAC3, dts, and PCM 2.0 via ARC. If audio is direct play/stream, SRT subtitles will direct play.If audio is transcoding, enabling SRT subtitles forces a video transcode.Enabling PGS or VOBSUB subtitles forces a video transcode.Note that subtitles can cause issues when using the Plex SmartTV apps. What does the Dashboard show when playing via the LG Plex app? Web browsers do not support H.265 video, hence the transcode. Alternative is (albeit a much more expensive one) getting a new NAS.īonus question: Did anyone try running Plex and Roon Core on Nvidia Shield Pro 2019? Options are getting the new Nvidia Shield and host Plex server on it while the library is still on Synology (is this viable for 4k?). I would truly appreciate a word of advice on future proofing my setup. When the same file is hosted and played on the PC it plays with no issues locally.Īm I safe to conclude that my Synology is simply way too under-powered to host files even for Direct Play/Direct Stream? Not to be lazy I’ve tested same material (720p mp4 file) on my i7, 16gb PC and got the same result!. I have both Direct Play and Direct Streaming enabled in Plex player but even with this Synology CPU spikes to 100% and it’s not possible to watch anything. I am perfectly aware that Synology is rather old to do any transcoding but I was hoping that LG might do this for me. My plex server is on Synology DS1813+ (Intel Atom D2700) with 4GB RAM and 5 4TB HDDs.Īudio is delivered from LG TV set to Cambridge Audio Edge NQ via ARC HDMI.īoth Synology and LG are on a gigabit ethernet connection. I’ve recently bought LG OLED55C9 which is meant to be the centre point of my media playback.
