Tried both on latest stable and on 9.0.1.31729 beta. The logs I am going to provide are from 9.0.1.31729 beta. As title suggests, true hd playback cannot be direct played and initiated any more. Player is just stuck on loading spinning yellow icon. If a different audio codec is chosen it plays fine. Never had this issue with previous versions. Only started with version 9.

I am providing logs from my Nvidia:
nvidia logs.txt (1.6 MB)

Media Server and system logs:
Plex Media Server.log (1.5 MB)
com.plexapp.system.log (97.1 KB)

File’s XML:

Known issue.
Rollback to Player 8.30.2.

I have for now rolled back to 8.31. Providing logs is way more helpful than the usual it’s not working and nothing more.

Huge thread on the topic: Nvidia Shield Dolby TrueHD playback is borked

Summary: Rollback to 8.30.2. Latest beta, 9.1.0.3170, looks promising.
