PMS Version? [https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/pms](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/pms) Plex app version on Shield? [https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/android](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/android) Make sure you have current version of Plex app on the Shield. The version that ships on the unit is most likely out of date. [Current Version](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-android/29115/298) is 7.12.0. Nvidia Shield settings: Display & Sound -\> Advanced Settings -\> Surround Sound = Auto. Plex App on Nvidia Shield settings: Advanced -\> Passthrough = HDMI Video -\> Display Information = On Video Quality -\> Adjust Automatically = Off The [YAS-107 Owners Manual](https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/8/968568/web_AV16-0002_YAS-107_om_UAB_En_B0.pdf) (HDMI signal, Audio signal, pg 41) says it supports bitstreaming Dolby Digital and dts audio. It is unclear if this includes Dolby Digital Plus (EAC3) and dts-HD (dts 7.1 is dts-HD), as they are not specifically listed as included or excluded. During playback on the Shield, pull up on-screen controls (tap bottom of ring on remote, pause video, etc). Information Overlay will appear in upper left corner. What does it show when playing media with the various codecs - AC3/EAC3/dts/dts-HD? If transcoding, either audio or video, what reason is shown? How does what is shown on-screen align with what is shown by the soundbar’s Decoder Indicator (Green = Dolby Digital; Red = dts; Off = PCM)? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/nvidia-shield-tv-eac3-plex/384741)._
