using FireTV Cube Gen3, default player Exoplayer (android built-in)
everything except VC-1 (not AV1, the old Microsoft Mpeg4) will direct play as far as video
everything except DTS* will direct play as far as audio (the sink gets stuck due to firmware bug, potentially fixed in the next firmware but i am rooted and cannot update yet)
and using the fork from t0mas to transcode DTS* -> EAC3 (sound quality is more than acceptable and to my ears there is no difference other than volume level)
- there is a PR https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-and.../pull/3110
- fork is here https://github.com/t0mas/jellyfin-androi...references
- the expectation is the PR will be reworked when niels is able to finish his rewrite and integrated after that
edit:
sidenote, when i decided to consolidate from a cube+htpc i eliminated a harmony elite, a sony uhd-bd player and an hdmi switch so that's what i am referring to when i said htpc requires extra equipment
