Whereas your server houses your media library, Plex media players let actually stream it. Simply put, a Plex client device is what you stream your media to, such as a Roku, Apple TV, or Android TV set-top box. Plex Media Server runs on several platforms including Linux, Windows, macOS, and Docker. As such, you can digitize your entire film, television show, and music collection, then store it on your server and use Plex to play your media remotely. You can think of it as a sort of do-it-yourself (DIY) Netflix or Spotify where you provide the audio and video files, and Plex organizes that content, downloads metadata and box art, as well as lets you access it from anywhere around your home or from abroad. Whereas the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ let you subscribe and stream content from their platform, with Plex you provide all of the movies, TV shows, and music. Does it just send the decoded lossy DTS core as PCM, or does it send full lossless multichannel PCM (decoded DTS-HD MA).Plex is a media server software solution. They then send the fully decoded DTS-HD MA without quality loss as multichannel PCM. They have the license to decode DTS-HD MA (and not just the lossy core!) and do it in software. Infuse: They do not just let Apple TV handle it. They extract the lossy DTS core, decode it and send lossy multichannel PCM. They just let the Apple TV handle it, and Apple only supports the lossy DTS core.

The default Apple TV afaik will extract the lossy DTS core, and convert this to mutlichannel pcm. This is where I would be interested to know what MrMC does: So now the audio is converted to multichannel pcm. AppleTV doesn't support this out of the box (as you also state). Thanks, this is exactly my open question which is unfortunately still not clear to me (unless I am misunderstanding you): If not the last two (settings dependent), the audio is converted to multichannel pcm. 1) multichannel pcm, 5.1 Digital Dolby, And Dolby Atmos.
