Is there a way to determine if the song currently playing is being transcoded?
I am able to find information about a given media file but I can't locate how to tell if the current song streaming is playing at it's full quality or if it has been transcoded. I want to play my hi-res ALAC files (24, 96) directly over my LAN and send them from plex to my DAC. This seems to be working fine and sounds great but there are times when I need to troubleshoot a sound problem and it would be helpful to know that Plex is not transcoding and causing a sound degradation that I may be trying to hunt down.
I have configured "Direct Play" and "Direct Stream" both on so I assume I'm getting a pure non-transcoded stream but I would simply like to confirm that transcoding is not being done. Any ideas?
PS I'm aware of Plex Media Player but I've had some issues with that so far and I really like the web app. I will report my PMP issues in a different post.
