I was wondering why everything in my library would play Direct Play no problem except movies with a Dolby True HD soundtrack…
crazy…
DTS Master HD plays Direct Play, FLAC plays Direct Play… Dolby True HD, silence! no audio. Had to switch Direct Play to auto…lame…
BTW i’m running PLEX from SHIELD TV.
I can only suggest you keep an eye on the announcements. We, as ninjas, don’t get any advance warning of something like that (transcoding True-HD to something your set can play).
I personally have tried to play true HD on my television (which claims to support it) using a plug-in USB stick and it doesn’t work. In that situation, PMS isn’t involved at all. That’s a Samsung issue 100%.
I think it is still available. I use plex on raspberry 3 and I have movies where plex shows true hd 7.1. And I can use it on raspberry over hdmi passtrough.

nah your server is probably transcoding it in the background without you knowing it thus giving you audio…

I don’t have a tv that can support Dolby TrueHD but I do have an AV receiever that can decode most formats. …DTS Master HD / Dolby TrueHD, even Dolby ATMOS.
All work except Dolby TrueHD.
im assuming once PLEX integrates Dolby TrueHD, Dolby ATMOS will come along with it.

Odroid direct plays TrueHD with OpenPHT.

We know Ned but there’s no OpenPHT for SHIELD TV. Hint hint. I’d kill for PHT GUI on Shield. 
Not at the moment…
Plex Home Theater supports Dolby TrueHD and ATMOS, yes ? moving my server back to my HTPC… Shield couldn’t handle the job.

IS THAT A HINT that OpenPHT is coming to Nvidia SHIELD TV?!

PMP handles that in passthrough as well.
Most consoles downscale or filter HD channels. In most cases these issues are a platform based issue rather than Plex. PMP will passthrough HD channels if you have hardware that will support it such as a HTPC Odroid or whatever.
PlayStation, XBONE, Sheild - all downscale your HD sound

So run SPMC with PlexKodiConnect to connect to your Plex server. TrueHD and DTS-MA are supported in SPMC.

my hardware can handle the format… i have a Yamaha AV receiver that handles upto ATMOS…
i set my Shield TV to Passthru all audio…
DTS Master HD passes just fine…
Dobly TrueHD & Dolby Atmos - doesn’t passthru… no audio.

I already do but I’d love the PHT UI on SHIELD.

Don’t use PHT. Use OpenPHT.

Yeah, I might not have been precise on the Shield. The specs and current promo information states pass through of Dolby but Plex doesn’t seem to like it. I haven’t read enough to know all the ins and outs. Still considering trying to find one to play with, but they aren’t a native product in Aus.
