So we’ve got PGS direct stream which is “relatively” recent but what about truehd? Will that ever be a possibility? I can pass it thru and that’s why I sometimes use the xbox app but the other issues there are on a whole other level.

I may be mistaken but I think you will need a Invidia Shield to get TrueHD. Most other device/TVs don’t support it. You may be able to pass through if your TV supports it but you need to use a high speed HDMI cable and use EARC.

Which I do. My receiver supports it. I’m using it with Plex app on Xbox Series X… It even passes thru on my freaking galaxy z flip lol… I see zero reason for a TV like LG C9 to not be able to pass it thru eARC since it does on the xbox.

Ok that makes sense and it’s a bummer. Is FLAC the same? As I can see that transcoding as well but passed thru on xbox.

It definitely transcodes. But passes thru on xbox. [Screenshot_20240215_003404]

I’ve no videos with FLAC audio. I do not know how the Plex LG app handles that format. It should pass multi-channel PCM (added in the Dec '23 update).
