I have a Dune Homatics r 4k Plus and DTS-HD MA/TrueHD needs Android 12 or newer. Since it’s not officially supported on your box I don’t know exactly how Android apps are actually working or if that even applies to you. I manually updated to Android 14 and that fixed my issue but Plex still isn’t working quite right. There is no DTS-X and any Dolby Vision files with DTS-HD MA 7.1 never even start playing, with an infinite black screen loading wheel. 5.1 plays fine "Force DoVi Profile 7 also doesn’t work and those files are played as HDR10 but that may be expected on the box you have with different specs. I have been using Kodi with [PM4K](https://forums.plex.tv/t/pm4k-plexmod-for-kodi-18-19-20-21-22/481208) and everything is working perfectly. I suspect that’ll work for you but if it doesn’t, the only thing I can suggest is that you install CoreElec and run PM4K through that. If your main objective is to run remux files at the highest quality I suggest you return that box if you can. Dolby Vision Profile 7 (FEL) with full audio support can only be handled via CoreElec and only on a handful of players. The AMB6+ is the preferred box but the one I have will also work. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/please-explain-passthrough-to-me/917621)._
