User Perrmissions Dependent on the Content Being Viewed

@LukeUpon further testing I've found what causes it to transcode, its the audio format.When the user has full transcoding permissions and it converts the audio, the video also gets converted which causes the burn in. Also I wanted to mention I do have the player on the App configured to auto. 

 

Here are the tests Iran:

 

TrueHD audio selected, PGS Subtitles enabled and Transcoding permissions enabled fully, including container changing:

Also the PGS subtitles are displayed incorrectly when they are burned in (They are very large and will go off the screen at times)

 

TrueHD audio selected, PGS Subtitles enabled and all Trancoding permissions disabled, including container changing:

This displays the PGS subtitles correctly and has proper Dolby Vision colors

 

AC3 audio selected, PGS Subtitles enabled and Transcoding permissions enabled fully, including container changing:

 

TrueHD audio selected, PGS Subtitles enabled and Transcoding permissions for audio and container changing disabled. Only video transcoding is Enabled:

It says converting audio although it is disabled and still causes a video transcode, also if I enabled AC3 audio it will direct play fine but the Dolby Vision colors will be improper (green tint)

 

TrueHD audio selected, PGS Subtitles enabled and Transcoding permissions for audio and container changing enabled. Only video transcoding is disabled:

The subtitles don't even show up when using these settings and the Dolby Vision colors improper (green tint). Enabling AC3 will show the subtitles but the Dolby Vision colors are still wrong

 

When the audio conversions are being done on the Apple TV itself it allows for PGS subtitles to be displayed properly and as an added benefit doesn't affect the Dolby Vision colors. Seems like the solution would be to have the Emby server pass Truehd Audio along to the Apple TV instead of transcoding it server side.

Also when TrueHD audio is converted by the apps embedded ffmpeg build on the Apple TV isn't it converted to PCM rather than AC3? if that's the case that would actually be a higher quality format since PCM is lossless.
