As a Plex on Apple TV 4K user, this application is almost perfect because want don't want Plex to transcode 4K movies. BOX4 changes the MKV container to MP4, encodes audio from DTS 7.1 to AAC 5.1. However, the only issue on Plex + Apple TV 4K is the vtag. BOX4 sets it to "hev1" where as Plex + Apple TV 4K needs "hvc1". This results in a Plex transcode.
Changing this needs me to run BOX4's MP4 file through FFMPEG to change the vtag which takes the same amount of time as BOX4's container change. I could use FFMPEG to both change container and vtag but using FFMPEG requires that look at the output of FFPROBE to pick tracks, subs, etc. I prefer the ease of use of BOX4.
So, it's an excellent app. Almost perfect for my needs. |
