Hi.
I just bought a new Surround reciever(Yamaha RX-V681), and I am not sure what I should use as a plex client. I have been thinking about running it on a Raspberry Pi, but not certain that it can handle it.
My setup is like this:
All my units are connected locally.
Plex Server is running on a linux Server
Samsung smart TV
Yamaha RX-V681 as amplifier
At the moment I have been using the Samsung Smart Tv's app for Plex, then the tv send the signal it received from the server down to my old amplifier and back up again. The problem with that is that the server transcodes the content so it fits the TV, and not what my amplifier can do.
So I need something that can process DTS HD or higher and 4K which then sends it to the amplifier and up to the TV.
If I'm wrong about my assumptions here on how the transcode is done please let me know :)
So the question, is Rasplex good enough to process the data which my amplifier can understand or should I use another plex client ?
