Can there be a way to force a client to accept and passthrough the audio so that it can be decoded downstream?
Right now, I have both a Roku device connected to a tv with a 5.1 soundbar, and a RokuTV that are rejecting AC3 audio and therefore requiring Jellyfin to transcode the audio, when the client TVs can either fully decode AC3 (TV w/ soundbar) or downmix to stereo (RokuTV) on its own.
I don’t believe this is a formal request feature, but am happy to make the request if asked, but wanted to at least kick off the discussion here.
