Plex audio8/12/2023 ![]() ![]() You must want to know how the Plex app works and which Plex client devices you could use to enable the Dolby Atmos experience. Don’t forget that the other connected devices must also support this audio format, such as the TV and sound system. So, can Plex play Dolby Atmos?Īs long as the devices hosting the Plex client app support Dolby Atmos, you can enjoy the surround audio effects when streaming media files from a Plex server. While it provides a great browsing experience, with the latest codecs support, the experience can be enhanced way further. Unlike other streaming apps, the solution provides a way to manage favorite media collections in one place. Also this opens up the possibility to add ones in your native language.Plex, which offers the ability to create your own library of movies, videos, shows, and more, is attracting the attention of more and more users. ![]() I hate not having the option to do this in Roon. Stupid album review? Delete it and add another. You as a user can change many things… no Artist bio? No problem, add your own. The last few weeks I’m using Plex more at home as Roon is annoying me endlessly with the volume -hijack issues on both iPhone and iPad…so I often no longer bother to open the Roon app and use Plexamp instead to stream over Chromecast. Not only is it a beautiful looking app, it works flawless for streaming my own music AND Tidal as well. Roon does nothing for me once I step out the door. Soundwise Chromecast is perfectly fine so both Plex using Chromecast or Roon using raat sound great.īut that’s at home, on you own network. Also not all my endpoints have Chromecast so I can’t stream to my headphone set up using Plex currently….I might flash Volumio on a rpi to make that possible though. I’ve been a lifetime roon user since 2015 and still using it so I obviously like itīut a Plex user even longer and still use it as well for both video and audio.Īt home, for multroom, roon is easier to use. Given that NOTHING is perfect, use whatever works for you! The bottom line for me is that while Roon excels at music file management and playback, it does NOT handle movies or TV series video files at all, which means my ONLY choice is to run Plex, which I don’t use for music playback. Where Roon is concerned, I never have to search for anything because it catalogs everything perfectly, every time. ![]() While unpredictable file naming results do occassionally pop up with Plex, I’ve always been able to resolve those issues it just takes tweaking. So it’s easy to manage.Īll the hardware is top-notch, the server OS runs on a 2TB M.2 SSD, and I have over 60TB of fast hard drives to store all those movie (MT2S and MKV) and music files much of which are DSD64/128/256 and thousands of FLAC files. In terms of file naming and file system structure, it can be tricky, but EVERYTHING (Plex and Roon libraries and files) resides on my high-end media server running Windows Server 2019, as a simple file server. I DO have to admit that Plex is occassionally problematic, where the results of adding new movies and/or shows to the library is concerned. New tracks added immediately appear, and with its simple and highly effective user interface, I don’t have to search for anything in Roon everything I add just magically appears! My personal Roon music library consists of 780 artists, 3575 albums, and ovee 45,000 tracks, and I can control everything from my cell phone, which is pretty handy. We’re only 500 steps from the Pacific Ocean, and wild deer wander through occassionally, which always adds to the impact of living in the Great Northwest! With the sliding glass doors open to the patio, and out of the audio path, and with the studio monitors and subwoofers directly opposite the patio, it’s a very good spot to listen to tracks just recorded, previously recorded and ANY music in a very relaxing and beautiful setting weather permitting. I also use it for my personal music collection. I use Roon for music playback in my recording studio, which is adjacent to our patio where we take breaks and serve refreshments. I use Plex primarily for movies (roughly 1900 of them) and TV series (House, GOT, Fringe, The Morning Show, etc.).
