Windows Store Version: Always transcoding Audio

[markyp 38]

I'm playing with the Windows Store version of theater... I've installed the HEVC plugin as well, but am having trouble with the transcoding of Audio. I can't seem to see a setting anywhere in the App for audio passthrough to my receiver... might just be my unfamiliarity with this new app!

So any movie with MA, or TRUEHD seems to get transcoded - do i need to install anything else, or is there a setting anywhere to stop these movies from transcoding?

Hi, i would suggest trying our downloaded desktop app as it has broader format support:

@markypPlease install the Desktop app listed above as Store app is limited to MS player.

I already use the desktop app - but wanted to play with the store version, if that's going to be the direction Emby is travelling...

No but the store versions is limited to your MS support where Desktop is not.

We are working on a new unified windows app where it will be the same for both, so stay tuned.
