LG Emby App und DTS und TrueHD Formate

[maier64 5]

So far it tells in the specs:

Volle Unterstützung für HD-Audio

Der Mediaplayer kann alle Formate von HD-Audio (bis zu Dolby TrueHD und DTS:X) über HDMI im Bitstream-Passthrough-Modus ausgeben. Zusätzlich kann der Mediaplayer alle HD-Audioformate in mehrkanaliges PCM (bis zu 7.1 Kanäle) dekodieren.

That’s a good start.

@sh0rtydoes your Dune do True HD passthrough?

Unfortunately I have no TrueHD capable sound system connected to the Dune.

So, finally I tested it, it is like you said, no sound when transcoding is off.

Now I tested it with a Dune HD Max 8K with Emby APP, and now it's the same thing as with LG, the playaer by itself plays everything fine and TrueHD Sound will be passed to Denon.

So far so good, but if I use the Emby App on the player, it doesn't play at all, if I deactivate transcoding for both video and audio, it plays the video but no sound, if I deactivate transcoding only for audio it also doesn't play at all.

In this case no LG is involved, Denon is capable and the Dune also of course, so why does Emby transcoding even if the player can passthrough all those formats

I think this is the point, and confirms what we have seen before.  The LG player appears to allow the TrueHD pass through, but LG have not made it possible for Apps to do TrueHD pass through.  We have seen this confirmed before, it appears to be what you are also finding.  Correct?

Dune HD Max 8K wit

I'm surprised this DirectPlays as I thought your TV was only 4K. Is the TV automatically down scaling?

[maier64 5]

Dune output is set to 4K, 8K is for future use, right now you can't get 8K 86'' TV in the EU due to power consumption issues.

So, as you said it is likely the case that the dune will tell the apps not to passthrough TrueHD and DTS, that doesn't make sense but you can't do nothing about it
