DTS-HD passthru not working

Post by xokia »

Description of problem or question:
Trying to pass DTS-HD
If I play the direct mkv rip using kodi DTS-HD plays using a 2nd gen Fire TV

If I encode using handbrake and choose DTS-HD passthrough both audio selections show up as 5.1 audio instead of 7.1 in kodi.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
I select DTS-HD passthrough for the first audio selection
I select AC3 5.1 for the second audio selection




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.3(20020061300)



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
windows 10 professional 64 bit

Your source audio TrueHD. You cannot pass DTS-HD through since there is no DTS-HD in the input to begin with.

hmmm....my Marantz head unit is processing that as DTS-HD if I play the MKV directly.

How do I get the TrueHD signal to pass through? That signal is going from 7.1 to 5.1 after handbrake

looking at the documentation here https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/tec ... odecs.html

TrueHD is supposed to be a passthru option but it does not appear in the drop down list under codec.

You cannot put TrueHD audio in an MP4 container, so TrueHD Passthru is only available for MKV output.

ok good to know thank you I will re-encode. Is that true for some of the higher audio formats as well? If so I will just encode by default as mkv

An M4V file is an MP4 file with its extension changed. The format is identical. Apple used to enable certain format extensions only when the extension was M4V, but that's history now.
