I’ve tried playing multiple movies that have DTS 5.1 using the new enhanced player, no audio comes through. Enabled the debug screen and it shows null for all audio codec information. If I use the old player audio comes back because it’s being transcoded. This happens with both MKV and MP4 containers.
Looking at the logs from the Apple TV (attached), I see a lot of this:

Not sure why that’s happening. Interestingly, it seems to be the movies that are HEVC with DTS audio. I have some H264/DTS that work fine. Any thoughts?
