Hello I updated my PMS this today with the latest beta 1.12.3.4947 and much to my enjoyment 7.1 is now working on truehd 7.1 conversion to DD 7.1.

Previously, I was only getting 5.1 surround. My receiver is a 1st gen 4k/7.1, but without HDR/atmos. TV is tcl 55s405 with roku/plexpass beta channel.

tv > roku/plexpass > ARC > receiver = 7.1

DTS 7.1 is not yet converting to 7.1, but thank you for the truehd conversion working!

Have you noticed any dropped frames using PMP (direct play with passthrough disabled) or iOS (transcoded) clients when playing TrueHD 5.1 or 7.1 sources? It’s definitely happening with the latest plex pass releases but I haven’t tried this beta.
