No audio unless I transcode down to 5mb/s on android TV - twiclo - 2025-12-15
I have an Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12. It came with android TV installed and I've been watching media through JF on that. With some media the audio doesn't work unless I transcode down to 5mb/s. From what I've read this projector doesn't support DTS 5.1 and I guess it's common for Android TV devices to over-report their capabilities. What are my options here? Can I manually set somewhere on the JF server side that this client can't do 5.1 DTS? Is this a problem other people run into?
Here are the specs for one of the media files I had a problem with:

Can that projector play this without transcoding?
