PMS has logged the following errors:

Transcoding TrueHD audio does not produce the error but the transcoded video skips 5 seconds after played every 3 seconds while playing on Chrome for Mac Version 136.0.7103.114 (Official Build) (arm64) The same file plays fine on Plex for Google TV with audio transcoding.
