neik 837 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I am starting using the LG app (1.0.35, should be latest) a lot more now and am missing the downmix feature from Android TV. Without that it is not possible to play TrueHD without audio transcoding and this then requires a subtitle burn-in for graphical subs if they are selected. Having a downmix feature would avoid the transcoding completely. Hopefully I am not should overlooking an already existing option. Thank you!

Luke 37166 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi, we could add such an option, but there's no way to do it client-side in the LG app. It would have to be done with server transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neik 837 Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 I also just noticed that LG can't play any kind of graphical subs, so it would always need to burn the subs in. I will need to attach my MiBox again I guess, thought I could get rid of it but doesn't seem so. 1 hour ago, Luke said: but there's no way to do it client-side in the LG app. Out of curiosity, why's that? Is it a limitation of LG? As stated, the AndroidTV client can do it without causing server transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 837 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) I'm running a Shield Pro meanwhile, but I can have a look at the issue with the latest release. Might get to it in a couple of hours if not then tomorrow. Edit: Unfortunately, LG does seem to force an active account to update some apps (Emby incl.) while others work just fine (e.g. YouTube). As I'm not using any "smart" feature of my TV (everything runs through Shield) I'm not going to create an account with them. Sorry!
