New Apple TV 4K

[tom80H]

Seems to be working but could depend on the Apple TV’s audio configuration (e.g. allowing it to actually pass audio through vs. encoding it as AC3).

Here’s a link from ~1 year ago where users discussed that.

Apple TV 4K -> EAC3 not sending atmos

I’ve been reading through the various threads on plex/atv 4k playing lossy atmos. I’ve got a file that has EAC3 5.1 w/ DDP. However, when playing it, my Denon shows it as PCM. I expected it to show up as Atmos on the receiver - which is how it shows up when playing Netflix via the ATV. I checked the transcoding and it looks like it is getting sent over directly. Has anyone gotten plex and ATV to play dolby digital plus via EAC3? [plex]
