Hi,
I have a Synology NAS which I use to stream video from to my Sony Android TV (8308C).
There is a Sony 5.1 surround system connected to the TV using an optical link.
This system supports both AC3 and DTS.
I have tried several player apps on the TV, but none of them seem to play the AC3 sound.
All I get is PCM Stereo sound at the surround system.
The only way I was able to get surround sound, was when I copied the video file to a USB flash drive and played it using the standard video app on the TV.
Surround was working, however video scaling was incorrect and subtitles don't work.
Apps I have tried:
Synology Video station (on NAS) in combination with:
- MX player (free version)
- VLC player
- Standard Video app
Plex Server (on NAS) with the Plex player app
Any ideas?
LOL. This works indeed. Very surprised. Clearly a bug then.
