is it possible to make it some kind of user choice? I have an lg cx oled which doesnt support DTS but have rooted it and patched in DTS support via https://github.com/lgstreamer/dts_restore
yet despite this the transcode is forced with all DTS-HD content. TrueHD is mixed - sometimes this just works, sometimes it thinks its playing direct but there is no audio, and sometimes it transcodes (which probably means I have mislabeled streams I'm guessing).
this makes sense based on what you've said but since i've patched with the above I can play back the same files directly from USB and they pass through no problem for the most part (there are some limitations described in the GitHub readme). I def understand why you would make it "all" but for people like me to be able to change it back would be very helpful although I do recognize I am an edge case. But as is this kind of breaks jellyfin for me - when HDR content transcodes the TV doesnt go into HDR mode so it looks awful.
Edit: reading up a bit it appears the (only) solution per emby is to avoid webos altogether so nevermind! see https://emby.media/support/articles/LG-W...Atmos.html this makes sense as the issue is with pass through and I’ve only been able to get direct play to work with the root patches. Looks like I’m either getting a streaming box or re encoding my library, wonderful. Nothing like a $2500 tv that needs another $200 box to work lmao
