Hey guys, I’ve used plex in my home for a while but decided to share my collection with a friend. It seems that even when I can get plex to do a direct stream, it still transcodes the audio and he only gets 7.1 channel audio instead of dolby atmos.

Any idea what setting I’ve got wrong? The file I tested was one I had ran through handbrake, ensuring that I left passthru enabled.

    Only 2 clients that I know of that can do Atmos sucsessfully is Nvidia Shield TV and running PlexHTPC on windows.

    I can play Atmos and HDR no issues through PlexHTPC, can’t get Atmos to work with the plex app on my TV’s built in Android TV with the official app, no luck through chromecast or amazon TV Stick either.
