When trying to play some of my BD m2ts samples, I realized that KODI (Jarvis 16.1 and Krypton 17 Beta 1) only outputs PCM 2.0 via S/PDIF and HDMI-ARC for TrueHD tracks which have an AC3 stream included. What I wanted to achieve is that the AC3 stream is played via Passthrough. Is that somehow possible?
When playing a BD m2ts with DTS-HD MA, KODI happily detects the DTS core and sends it to the S/PDIF and HDMI-ARC via Passthrough. It just doesn't work for TrueHD with AC3 where I only get decoded PCM 2.0.
I am using KODI on my Sony KD-55XD8505 (X850D in the U.S.) TV running androidtv. The native media player of androidtv (called "Video") does AC3 Passthrough for TrueHD tracks inside m2ts.
Is this intentional, missing feature, a bad configuration on my side or a bug?
