dts and dolby digital audio not passing through - Milson - 2023-11-04

Hello everyone,

i am planning to use jellyfin to watch my movie collection (on the server) on my TV.

Server is running version 10.8.11 of jellyfin, TV is a TCL model with android 9 running the latest jellyfin android app. Audio is sent from the TV to a Denon avr via optical spdif.

I do get dts and dolby digital audio if i play a movie from a USB flashdrive with TCL's media player. But i'm only getting stereo sound when i play movies via jellyfin.

As far as i'm seeing there is no transcoding going on and i set both bitstream options to on.

What could be the cause of this behaviour?

If the audio is being transcoded, Jellyfin will say it is "direct streaming". Do you see that?

Hi. No, the log states: (PlayMethod=DirectPlay, TranscodeReason=0). Audiocodec is also correctly recognized as dts.
