This means that your Plex Media Server may still transcode your media even though the Apple TV 4k has the horsepower to play a video in its original format. However, Plex’s tvOS profile is not fully optimized for the Apple TV 4K. Now, many media types play directly in Plex, eliminating the interim step of transcoding those videos. Plex is currently testing a new, MPV based, media engine for the Apple TV client. And, we run the Plex client on Apple TV 4K settop boxes. We run the Plex media server on Synology NAS devices. I like Roku for the simple menu systems and complete neutrality between apps, but Apple just does it better IMO.Previously, I described how we use Plex as a whole home media solution including home videos, live TV & DVR, and music. It's OS is faster, more flexible and well supported by Apple. Having had extensive experience using both, I greatly prefer the Apple TV 4k. I have never had any issues getting apps to work

As far as apps, I use Hulu Live TV, Vudu (playback only), Netflix, Paramount, AMC+, AppleTV+,HBO Go, ESPN, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Youtube, etc.

It took me all of about 5 minutes to set up my 4k TV to work properly with Dolby Vision and Atmos, so I am a little confused as the issue.

If it is an important feature for you, then Roku is your best choice

As far as DTS, I haven't used a DTS audio track in ages, so not a major issue for me.Dolby Vision is the superior HDR format, but if you have a Samsung TV, then HDR10+ is the only thing you have.release notes simply state,Apple has supported for years. I have not run Plex on my Roku or Apple TV, but from what I understand it works better on Roku.Tribdp83 is correct that the Apple 4k TV does not currently support HDR10+ but that is getting fixed in the next software update:.With the exception of losing vudu new releases, it does everything I want it to, works flawlessly for me and is overall a better experience and user interface. Say what you will, but as someone who has used Roku since their first generation, I have since replaced all of them with Apple TV 4k 64GB models.
