Firecube Dolby TrueHD Passthrough and video stutter/pauses - xelp - 2025-10-01
Hi all. I have used Jellyfin prior with uncompressed codecs. In fact it is the very reason I started using it as Plex will not handle those as far as pass through. And that is also the entire reason I use a Firecube because it too can pass those through. Most other devices will not except for a shield.
My setup is simply Jellyfin on a Firecube, connected to a Yamaha Receiver, connected to a TV. Normally works great for 4K HDR + TrueHD sound. But for some time, when I play a title with TrueHD it plays but I get 1 frame about every 3 seconds. The sound I think is stuttering with it. If I swap that same title to say 5.1 it works fine.
This is not being transcoded. In fact if it is it works fine. Reason I say that is my Firestick was doing the same thing. But its just a stereo TV no receiver so it should transcode it but it was not and it had the same stutter. Soon as I forced a transcode it was ok.
DTS-HD seems to be fine as well, I think its just TrueHD.
My server is Windows 11
I have tried 10.10.7 and 10.11.x, they behave the same
Plex plays these files fine but its not a comparison its transcoding the sound
I have tried this on several 4K titles
Thank ytou
