Hi, I am thinking about buying the new 4K Fire Stick to use it with the Kodi app and to replace my old setup: An old Fire Stick and a Raspberry Pi 3 with Libreelec. Before I buy, I have some questions:
- Can I play true 5.1 audio? I am asking because when I play 2.0 and 5.1 audio on my old Fire stick, my audio receiver always shows it plays 5.1 audio, so I don't know if it is fake 5.1. In addition I have passthrough enabled on my Fire Stick, but the sound plays on my TV even when I turn off my audio receiver, which is not the case when I am using my Pi. I guess this is because the Pi really passes the audio through and my 2.0 TV just can't handle a 5.1 signal.
- Can I play MPEG2 and WVC1 in Full HD? The reason I am asking is because I had to buy the codecs for my Pi to be able to watch this content without lags.
