    Hey!
    I have a library of MakeMKV-Rips and MKVs of other sources.
    Until yesterday I could play TrueHD Atmos tracks from both perfectly fine without transcoding on my Nvidia Shield using the Jellyfin for Android TV (0.19.4) app.
    But today Jellyfin (10.11.4) insists on transcoding my rips, but not my other files - even though I didn't change or update anything and both audio tracks look the same to me:
    Rip:
    Audio
    Title: Surround 7.1 - English - Dolby TrueHD + Dolby Atmos - Default
    Language: eng
    Codec: TRUEHD
    AVC: No
    Profile: Dolby TrueHD + Dolby Atmos
    Layout: 7.1
    Channels: 8 ch
    Bitrate: 2994 kbps
    Sample rate: 48000 Hz
    Bit depth: 24 bit
    Default: Yes
    Forced: No
    External: No
    Other file:
    Audio
    Title: Dolby TrueHD + Dolby Atmos - Default
    Language: eng
    Codec: TRUEHD
    AVC: No
    Profile: Dolby TrueHD + Dolby Atmos
    Layout: 7.1
    Channels: 8 ch
    Bitrate: 2935 kbps
    Sample rate: 48000 Hz
    Bit depth: 24 bit
    Default: Yes
    Forced: No
    External: No

    What could possibly have changed here to cause this behavior?

    Jellyfin is running as a docker container and I have attached the reported playback capabilities and debug logs.
    What is wild to me that the logs look like a dolby vision problem on line 488 (?), but the transcode reason given in the dashboard is audio:
    "The video stream is compatible with the device, but has an incompatible audio format (DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc) or number of audio channels. The video stream will be repackaged losslessly on the fly before being sent to the device. Only the audio stream will be transcoded. Power consumed by direct streaming usually depends on the audio profile. Only the video stream is lossless."


    Thank you in advance for any insight!

    Ok, the problem is affecting all my dolby vision files - it's not rips vs non-rips

    Using JustPlayer as an external player avoids the issue.
    But I still don't understand what changed from yesterday to today.

    Rolling back to 0.18.11 also fixes it.
    My client must have updated overnight ...
