Regards,
NimfaThanks - I'm using the latest plex server on my windows workstation and the latest plex player on my roku ultra - which is also on the latest release. It is very vanilla as they only things I've installed on it since I took it out of the box is plex and pluto.
In plex player on my roku ultra, I have no issue streaming MKVs from my plex player. I can stream MP3's without issue as well. When I attempt to stream flac music files (mostly all stereo) I'll get playback not supported even though it can see the file and it shows the audio peaks. Sometimes it will play part of the piece of music but then shortly into it, it will say playback not supported and ask if I want to skip or retry. It may play a few seconds of the next song and have the same issue or just not play the first or next flac file.
