Combination HDR, DoVi with DD+ doesn't work

[DiscoDuck79 47]

Android TV: 2.0.83g

Server: 4.7.11.0

TV: HDR capable (not DoVi)

 

If I try to play a file that contains both DoVi and HDR and the audio track is DD+ I get the "Too many errors. Giving up" message and the playback doesn't start, on the server side I can see in the logs that it wants to transcode for some reason. However, in other configuration mixes it works as it should.

 

DoVi + HDR + EAC3 5.1 = Doesn't work

DoVi + HDR + TrueHD/DTS/DD5.1 etc = Works

HDR + EAC3 5.1 = Works

 

Is this a known issue or am I just out of luck?

As the first step, either update to latest AndroidTV beta app:

Or sideload standard Android app and see how does that compare:

Hi.  Please read the help text under these options that you disabled:

Yes, transcoding is intentionally disabled since my server doesn't have a card with HW support for H265.

Since I can playback a file with DoVi + HDR + TrueHD/DTS/DD5.1 and another that has HDR + EAC3 5.1 and those combination works I'm a bit confused to why just DoVi + HDR + EAC3 5.1 doesn't. The same file works using Kodi with emby-for-kodi.

Updated to latest Beta and that solved the issue. Now everything is working as it should.
