I’m currently trying to play my copy of Scream (2022) via the Jellyfin app on my Roku TV. The video is 1080P H264 SDR, and the only audio track is DTS-HD MA. Instead of trying to transcode the audio (because I’ve heard that lossless audio is not supported by Roku), the video plays directly. The playback info on the Roku says, “The source file is entirely compatible with this client, and the session is receiving the file without modifications.” The problem is that no audio is being passed through. (I should point out that when I watch the same video file on the Jellyfin iOS app, audio plays just fine. This displays that there IS a functional audio track to begin with and that the issue is on the Roku end.) So, for some reason, Roku thinks that it can pass the audio when it actually can’t, and therefore won’t transcode. How would I force an audio transcode as a workaround or fix this issue altogether?
