Please provide a feature like Kodi with its pass-through for audio signal. I can’t get my Samsung TV with my Onkyo 7.2 Reciever get to work for providing direct stream for audio. With Kodi is absolute no problem

Huh…
Kodi has a client for Samsung ?
And you do not state what Samsung model (Year) you have, but with 2018+ models, Samsung decided to NOT support DTS anymore, and that sadly includes pass-through

I use a fire TV Stick 4k with ue65h7590 Samsung TV. With plex no chance with Kodi no problems. Even with fire TV directly plugged into the only tx-nr686 only Kodi is the only way to get 7.1 to work

Sorry, I know Samsung
, but doesn’t know Fire TV
, and guess the missing link you just added means it’s not Samsung related at all
Hinestly, I dont know, why plex doesn’t bring this feature?

Edited to point to a solution you might not like
Go here:
You are basically out of luck for 7.1 audio support. The limitation is the FireTV. If you want to passthrough 7.1 audio, either dts-HD MA or TrueHD, you will need to use a Nvidia Shield. The Shield is the only off the shelf device that can passthrough 7.1 audio.
The other option, as mentioned in the posts you found, is to use Plex Media Player on a PC or Mac, connected to your receiver via HDMI.
Regarding the FireTV’s capabilities:
Review the FireTV technical specifications .
FireTV device…
Sorry but you can see which audio format is comin in. And it’s definitely 7.1 working with Kodi.

I can only suggest, that you visit:
After years of tolerating AC3 using Plex on my 1st Gen Fire TV, I am really itching to get DTS sound. The family is very much accustomed to the Fire TV interface so I am not excited about switching to another streaming device (plus it really runs everything flawlessly). So:
Has anyone successfully accomplished DTS passthrough on more recent Fire TV boxes?
If not and if no hope for future AFTV gens, is there a different streaming device that can do it?
Some other method altogether?
Just a simple question for those who have Amazon Fire TV 4K: does it supports DTS and dolby digital passtrough with PLEX?
I found various answer on the web.

I have been reading the forums here and for Handbrake and I cannot get 7.1 channel audio to match what I get when I play the Blu Ray disc in my player.
I have exported every possible audio codec (AAC with 7.1 Channel Mixdown, AC3 Passthru, DTS Passthru, etc) and none of these work.
My audio settings in the Plex App on my Amazon Fire TV look nothing like the ones on the “Audio Configuration Guide”. If I install the “Plex Media Player” I am able to find the sections described but I am unable to…
Ok. Ive read the forums a million times. As far as i can fathom the fire tv cant or wont passthrough dts audio. I have a samsung ms650 soundbar with rear speakers.

My bar doesnt indicste the audio im getting IE no display like on an amp. So am i getting dts? No transcoding is going on. If i play the…
