Firefox playing videos not geting DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1 playback

[Darrell262 0]

Hello, I am having an issue getting the web client to playback in DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1

 

When I play a video with VLC I get my 5.1 or DTS if the video supports it with my optical cord pluged in my tv computer and into my amp. I have a hdmi cord plugged from the computer to the tv. and then an optical cord from the tv to the amp as well but I don't get 5.1 or DTS. only PCM Digital Pro Logic (not 5.1)

 

I have the computer (windows 7, but 10 is same) set to play to the optical out as default.

 

I am wondering if there is a way to make the web app to play 5.1 or an option to make it do this. Is there a windows app that will talk to emby server ?

Hi, welcome. No, it's not possible without having the server convert the audio. Microsoft edge is the only browser that supports Dolby and none support dts

What about a PC App to support this.  Also. while I have your attention. I paid 10$ for the android app. If I wanted to pay for the lifetime membership can I take 10$ off of the 99?

And one last question. It shows  Mobile Sync something I would be interested in not being available for android. Wondering if you had a timeline for that. 100$ is alot to pay with out having these issues to me looked at.

Emby Theatre can do pass-thru for Dolby and DTS including the HD variants. If you're on Windows 7 or 8 then there is Emby for WMC which can do standard DTS or ac3. Or there is the Emby addon for Kodi.

There is a windows app that does this all, or there is also Emby Theater, which you need premiere for.
