Thanks Philippe,
Checking both PMS & PMP logs - on both regular and ac3 test files - I could see that:
* PMS properly sends ac3 to PMP
* PMP => downgrades to stereo when selecting default output
==> plays nothing when selecting HDMI output.
Plex client on my PS4 plays ac3/dts properly, Plex ac3 test files gives proper and isolated sound on the 6 channels.
PMP on Asustor gives a clear stereo, with something weird: Center, FL and FR are OK. RL seems to play on FR and RR seems to play on FL :) SW does not play anything.
PMP logs tend to indicate that there's a issue with ALSA driver, but I could not spend more time on analysis.
Plex forum already detected such an issue on PMP v1.3, perhaps fixed in a nightly build but I'm not sure.
[APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.12] END move to PMP2 2.4.1

Re: [APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.1.1] For ALL plex users
Hi,
BUT be sure to use 1.3.1 and not 1.3.0
... reason : NO version exist for Linux from Plex.tv team ... so it's a port of the Rasbian (RasberryPi) version on Ubuntu then on NAS ... and 1.3.1 changelog speak about solution for playing AC3/DTS on RaspberryPi ... so perhaps also for our version ...
I will try to run a test (but I will be back only Wednesday evening in my labs and for four days only ... so ... I will try)Maerlin wrote:Thanks Philippe,

Re: [APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.1.1] For ALL plex users
A few extracts from logs, even if I might submit it directly on plex forums. Nevertheless Plex team might not be able to easily tackle this bug given the fact we're on a port.
Remember: I get stereo sound
With Autoselect output selected in PMP: could be normal if default output is somehow of stereo thing in the ASUSTOR.2017-05-26 01:45:14 [ INFO ] Log.cpp @ 115 - Starting Plex Media Player version: 1.3.1.dev-1223ea09 build date: 2017-05-18

With HDMI selected as ouput, due to the error below, PMP seems to switch to spdif output instead of HDMI:2017-05-26 01:45:53 [ DEBUG ] PlayerComponent.cpp @ 505 - ad: Opening audio decoder ac3

I spent hours on plex forums and I feel like it's an issue of PMP itself, there are still some opened issues about hdmi audio output.
Anyway I'll give it a try to this 1.3.2 just to be sure.

Hi Philippe,
Thank you for the new version.

Re: [APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.5.1] For ALL plex users (prepare support beta 2)
Hi,
Find in first post an update of PlexMediaPlayer 1.3.5 to 1.3.5.1
THIS update is only to change structure and scripts to support in parallel the installation of PlexMediaPlayer 2 ( 2.1.0) BETA (PlexPass users only)
NO update in plexmediaplayer itself
... add a more clean situation at end or in case of crash or unpredictable error
UPDATE is not needed (just wait for next release) if you don't want to test new PMP with new GUI
@Spartanineo
... prepare detail (hardware used (especially if AVR), logs, settings and movies detail) and post here BUT also try directly on Plex.tv plexmediaplayer forum, to get more expertise and users to compare with your situation
