DTS-HD to Dobly Digital Issues - Shield TV / Sonos Beam / LG OLED

[lebowski 1]

Hi all,

I’m seeing the same issue on my Nvidia Shield TV (2019 Pro). Specifically:

• Media with DTS-HD MA, my TV only supports dolby digital, I am using a Sonos Beam Gen 1.

• “Convert unsupported audio to Dolby Digital” enabled

• Video glitches (stutters / dropped frames) during playback

• The same content plays perfectly using Emby for Android TV on the same device with “Convert unsupported audio to Dolby Digital” enabled

Workarounds that work for me:

• Using Emby for Android TV instead of the "Shield" Emby app

Happy to provide server logs or further testing info if helpful.
