cappa.dot 1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have a Roku running on my Pana plasma but sick of the DTS sync issue. Considering either of the the following Android TV Mi Box to replace the Roku Upgrade TV to the OLED b7 or C7 range and use the Emby app on that. Anyone got feedback on the LG Emby app and its ability to replace the Roku experience and passthrough the DD and DTS to my Amp using ARC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6780 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have the LG C7V TV connected to the LG SJ9 soundbar with Atmos. I have used the Emby for LG TV app installed and an Nvidia Shield TV connected to it and playback is flawless. DTS-HD MA is an issue with Emby in my setup, so waiting for the MPV release further down the line, although everything works in Plex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappa.dot 1 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Do you find Emby runs better on the Shield or LG? Is there any preference when you are wanting to use Emby? Is one version more polished than he other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but it is via HDMI ARC. LG released a new firmware that makes it possible. I also know this, as the soundbar like up with DOLBY ATMOS when it detects it.

Luke 37164 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The next release of the LG app will resolve subtitles as well as improve direct play. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARC does not support HD audio, it that simple, sorry but go read up, for HD audio you need eARC from HDMI 2.1, no tv has this yet, it was ratified to late for LG 2018 tv's. btw, just because it say DOBLY ATMOS, does not mean HD audio, as i said above it is probably get re-encode to Dobly Digital plus ATMOS, that is NOT HD audio. it just like Apple Saying they can add ATMOS in future, this does not mean TrueHD Atmos, but only Dolby Digital plus ATMOS, the kind of ATMOS NETFLIX are using.
