interesting. I will have to research more. Ideally I can find something that can play all this content but still use some form of the jellyfin client as I and my family have grown quite accustomed to it. And ideally it's a platform that can handle subtitles reasonably well, including ASS and PGS but that seems to be asking quite a bit. Maybe just building something out of a SFF pc?
on the WebOS front: I've been playing around with it more and with the fmp4-hls container (@pLeX - this is under playback in the client settings if you wish to try it yourself). I now have the DV/HDR video working directly on the TV (and looking wonderful!). TV goes into HDR or DV mode as necessary.
DTS-HD transcodes to AAC, TrueHD passes through with issues. However, I dont know if this is actually the case. On files where TrueHD is the only track i get no audio; on files where it seems to work it seems to "skip" one track in the selection list. e.g. if I have 1. TrueHD Atmos 7.1, 2. DTS 5.1, 3. Commentary, etc and I manually select the 5.1 track when the file is playing the commentary is what actually plays. So I don't know if the TrueHD is actually what's being passed through or if the 5.1 track is although there are no logs to indicate transcoding occurred. I'll dig through the direct stream logs tomorrow to see what's happening, it's late now. My receiver is older and isn't the kind where it has a light or icon to indicate Atmos content so I can't tell that way.
I still will evaluate alternatives because I want non-transcoded audio streams and the overwhelming majority of my library is DTS-HD plus the above isn't exactly reliable results. The few rips I have where there is only 1 TrueHD audio stream have no sound, switching audio tracks is a mess, etc.
