Hello,

I've you tried to disable audio transcoding in user profile ?

Sadly these options dont exist for Emby Samsung app

ive been doing some more testing , the only options related to Playback (streaming) is Audio Quality , Video Quality and Remote Video Quality 

i tried to increase the Audio streaming quality to the max (4mbits) and still didnt work

then i tried maxing out the Video streaming Quality to 200mbits and Remote Video Quality to 200mbits 

and finally Emby can play Dolby Atmos EAC3 5.1

however it still CANT play Dolby TrueHD 7.1

a reminder that my SoundBar supports both.

any other suggestions guys ? im really appreciating all of your feedback 

perhaps one of the Emby developers can help out with this situation

thanks again

Update on the last post trying to play same content directly on Emby app for Samsung, im not longer trying with laptop

another assumption/analysis after i tested many movies with variety of codecs i noticed that Emby app for Samsung would indeed play EAC3 Dolby Atmos 5.1 or any other file in Direct Play as long as its audio bitrate is below 4mbps if its higher then it would automatically Transcode it to AC3 384kbps.

attached is the only option related to selecting audio bitrates , thats why im guessing there is a relation
highest option is 4mbps
