Aeon MQ8. Got it! Want me to just randomly scroll through movie library? Or any kind of other test you want me to show? :-)

I've been using the MQ8 skin for a few months, switched from Rapier due to an odd delay issue when going into Movies or TV Shows, but with MQ8, very fast, quite like it, no issues so far and it looks amazing.

Would the new Vero 4k+ be able to send Dolby TrueHD with Atmos to my LG SK9Y soundbar with rear speakers? Right now, I'm using the Amazon Fire TV stick 4k which can't send lossless audio to the soundbar, so I can only get lossy Atmos through DD+.
The soundbar supports TrueHD but not DTS-HD MA. So what happens if I play a file with DTS-HD MA? Would the Vero 4k+ decode it and send it as PCM? And how about DTS X? I wouldn't be able to get the object based surround if it's through PCM, correct?

Vero can send TrueHD with Atmos.
If your soundbar doesn't support DTS-HD MA, Vero will send DTS core audio (if it's in the stream, which it usually is, otherwise PCM).
Not sure about DTS-X, except, yes, you won't get 3-D audio with PCM.

Yes that's the site I came across as well. So basically it's Kodi and I have to tweak the settings there. And then it's all good. Sounds like an idea.

Thank you very much, auren and graham-h as well. It surely does help, and I'm also familiar with the Kodi settings as that's what I'm using now for the Firestick to get TrueHD to send as PCM to my soundbar, so it's good to know those are available.
Now I just need to make sure that my soundbar can do TrueHD. On the LG website, it seems like it does but in the manual it doesn't show the format, so I'm a bit confused.

I've been encountering buffering issues with 4K movies, the drive is mapped using fstab.
Is there an easy way to go back to Leia 18.1 without having to do backups?
