Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. I looked at what you suggested, though I couldn't find options in the settings that matched up perfectly with what you described. Most transcoding options appear to pertain to video only. In any case, I think I discovered what is going on, which may be unrelated to any transcoding settings being incorrect.
I am trying to use Plex to share my extensive MP3 library, and I have a separate FLAC library that I already have set up on a NAS with Minimserver. Most of the MP3 files are variable bit rate. It seems like these variable rate files all display in the Lumin app as 128 kbps. If I choose any of the "normal" constant bit rates (320, 256), the Lumin App will show those accurately. So now I'm wondering, is this an error with how the Lumin app displays the bitrate, or is it actually being transcoded down to 128 kbps?
Any idea on what's actually going on behind the scenes or how to fix it?
Thanks.
