Jellyfin MP for GoogleTV Lossless passthrough - Byteus - 2023-10-31
Any plans to support lossless codec passthrough with Jellyfin MP for Android/GoogleTV? Seems to a shame to have DV, HDR10+ support only to find I can't get lossless codec passthrough. Is this a GoogleTV OS Internal app limitation considering newer TV's can passthrough lossless over eARC with external devices?

one thing to keep in mind is that not all mfr eARC implementations (STB->TV->eARC->audio device) can / will pass every format (DTS, etc); iirc it's dependent on which licenses the mfr is willing to pay for to allow passthrough. there is / was kerfuffle around (maybe some, not all, honestly I don't recall) LG TVs not passing DTS through via eARC.

Just to ensure I'm clear, I'm not asking for Jellyfin MP to passthrough lossless codecs from an external device but through direct play from a local Jellyfin server.
