Better Sony Android TV support

  1. better buffer handling on videos with higher bitstream than 30mbits.
  2. audio passthrough (works on nvidia - doesn’t work on Sony TVs).

Problem is not on the Plex side, but on Sony.

Their firmware is total crap, it does not support frame rate switching, passthrough related API, …

yes. there are things that are Sony dependent (or even Mediatek dependent) I don’t know.
But there are things to improve:

  1. Buffer (its kinda bad). There are players who just play files on the same firmware without lagging.
  2. AC3 passthrough? (kodi and netflix do it), DTS can be left as it is for now. As long as I understand it is not implemented in Sony’s firmware (read somewhere on the forums)
