Celebrate with a movie, popcorn, a Philips hue lighting disco and try not to fall asleep on the couch once you’ve done it all.If they are 5.1 Dolby Digital etc, they will play in wonderful surround sound. When you run the app on the Apple TV it should pick up the server automatically. Install the Plex app on your Apple TV.Tell Plex to look at that folder for new files.Set up the Plex download manager to auto-download to a folder on the computer your running Plex on.Download the Plex Java-based (Java = it’s cross-platform for Mac and PC) auto-download download manager.Easy as 1.2.3 – just download Plex on an old computer and make sure it’s connected to the same WiFi as your Apple TV – and that it’s not set to go to sleep automatically.You could just download the files manually from Put.io to your computer. Yes, you do need a computer that can act as a Plex server but most households have an old laptop or computer lying around not being used so you can use that. Here is the longer version of the above which isn’t as complicated as it seems. As Plex and the Apple TV both support AAC/AC3 5.1 surround sound audio (and more) you’re audio problems are solved.Įnd Advertisement The essential solution (longer answer with a bit of how to do it)
The basic TL DR on this is to have a Plex server where you put your AC3 DTS DD put.io files and then use the Plex Apple TV app to play the files on your Apple TV.
have the rest of the family/roommates frustrated and complaining that it’s too technical and a PITA to use, or worse, complaining they can’t hear the difference. So the question – How to get 5.1 AC3 audio, or similar to work for files in Put, that doesn’t require a lot of hassle e.g. I have tried most of the apps that are available with put.io including the Kodi, iOS app, Apple TV app, Put.io app for Plex and the app that works on my Samsung TV and have never been able to get surround sound working.Īfter a little Googling I discovered that all the put.io apps downsample or downgrade the audio to 2.0 stereo, with a comment somewhere I saw that said they don’t see the value in the development work… Either way I think you ‘feels’ me, right? For some of you that might mean more than Dolby Digital and more like Dolby Atmos. Having invested a good deal of money into my home stereo, it seems such a waste to not have high quality 5.1 audio to match. To cut a long story short, I have also been frustrated with the lack of 5.1 surround sound support. This solution is the opposite, it’s how to get 5.1 surround sound from plex and put.io and ensure it doesn’t down sample it to stereo!įor some time I have enjoyed the convenience of put.io as a solid legal file sharing service. It seems a lot of people want Plex to downsample to stereo. Put.io + Plex via Apple TV = Audio Goodness Get your put.io files into plex and apple tv for beautiful 5.1 surround sound experience
