Please leave your comments
This post only try to help the developers in the way the issues going fixed and they get info about it and keep working in the development of the app
I have a Bravia 4K/HDR TV with Android 7.0.
I tested few videos and the DTS isn’t working. It still transcodes. All other UHD HDR videos (without DTS) I tested but one play without transcoding… The one transcoding (downloaded from YouTube) was playing in HDR previously but I had to skip forward and then back to make it starting.
Actually another one (LG NASA HDR mentioned with pictures in this thread) now gets the same error in the pictures.
I attach the log files.
It’s missing the option “Direct Play: FORCED” like in this screenshot (in Italian). That’s the only thing that fixed the converter closing/crashing in 5.x. Installing 5.10.y, setting that option and then updating to 6.3 it worked. Now with 6.4 (beta and official) some videos don’t show at all.

What device?
Do you have the log?
@HRSCR As I wrote in my first post it’s a Bravia 4K/HDR TV with Android 7.0. Model 49XD8099 (but I doubt the model matters).
The log is attached in my first post as well.
But why, do you get that option in the Nvidia Shield?

This is a good question to the developers.

Well… Technically I was asking if you see that option in the Nvidia Shield client. 
If there is, and it is missing in the Bravia TV, something would be very wrong in the app indeed, and the developers should look at it. I mean, the apk is the same.
Another thing: On Bravia TV with Android 7.0 the Recommended x264 Maximum level is actually 5.2, and not 5.1 as in your screenshot. I wonder if it has anything to do with the videos with DTS audio converting (yes, I tested various of those settings, nothing changed).
PS: @“MovieFan.Plex” Since you followed this issue already, any chance you can look at it now? The issue is present in the beta version as well.
Are chapters working again?
When will this version be officially released?

Ohh, ok now is clear hehe, I don’t understand before what you mean, I confused about the device you’re talking in the post. Let me check later and confirm you if that option in trhe Direct Play shows in my Shield.
In other hand, to me, Bravia is another world in the sense of licenses and other stuff, not friendly at all with the user. I don’t think Bravia comes with better processor and resources than nVidia… is interesting 5.2 is recommended in Bravia. Thank you mate

Yes, chapters work consistently in both the latest beta and in the latest public release.

Do you use trailers or a pre roll clip?
No I do not.
Even with a pre-trailer enabled, I still get chapters when it gets to the main movie (I fast forwarded through the trailer)

They are 4K/HDR TVs with specialised video HW. When playing HEVC/H.265 (HDR or less) videos with the stock Video player the CPU usage is nearly zero. It’s all HW accelerated (and not by the GPU). Then if you want to play a game, to mention the typical resource hog app, the Nvidia Shield is much superior. The graphics in the TV is just horrible. Same for the UI speed and else. The Tegra SoCs are magnitudes above those awful Mediatek MT5890/MT5891 in the Android Bravia TVs.
Indeed the only unfriendly thing about these TVs is that painful Android TV. Very buggy (thanks Mediatek!) and slow due to the SoC mentioned.
What instead isn’t clear is why the same videos with DTS audio play fine in the stock Video app and Kodi, while Plex has the need to convert them in the Plex server.
