Issue with TrueHD Atmos playback?
I've had 7.1 issues forever, and I've just given up trying to fix all variables. Instead, I'll just transcode/rip the audio stream and add a simple AAC to the file. Since you are on a MAC, this is easy command line (linux as well) I found a github repo that helps with this. https://github.com/ymgenesis/AudioTool If you just setup the directory tree as documented, it is a pretty simple task.

iOS Shortcuts: Check active streams in Plex before running server upgrade
This is nice, but if you're going to all this trouble then why aren't you just running PlexUpdate? It does everything in this shortcut (checking active streams and updating), but does it all automatically without you manually having to press a button.

All Plex media "Unavailable"
https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate After using this script to update my plex server all my media is Unavailable. I don't think it's a permission problem because I changed the permission to 777 for all my files and folders.
