Streaming video + surround sound

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.
