Best Emby HDTV media player client?

[cwills75 14]

I'm running Emby server on Unraid with a variety of SDR & 4K/UHD titles.  Most of my clients are Nvidia Shields with one of them the newest Pro model with the 4K AI upscaling.  The new Shield locks up at least twice a week, and it doesn't stream Youtube HDR titles or any HLG titles in HDR.  Well, it'll play them, but it won't flag them as HLG HDR.

I've been looking around at the latest Apple TV, Rokus, Fire-things and it looks like Roku/Fires do support HLG, but not lossless bitstream audio.  The Apple TV doesn't support HLG (plays in HDR10 for some reason), and also doesn't have lossless bitstream audio.

Short of running a full HTPC media center, is there any Emby client that can bitstream/passthrough lossless audio and play all HDR formats (HDR10, 10+, DV & HLG)?  I've seen some things online about the Zidoo Z9X, but I don't know how well it works with Emby specifically, or if there is something else out there that will do the job.

Hi, I think the Shield is probably still the most robust device. I'm sure the issues relating to the recent Shield software updates will get cleared up in time.
