Passthrough Audio Netflix and Plex Android
#1
I've got my PINE64 connected via HDMI to my receiver but its not passing through Dolby or DTS in either Plex or Netflix. Is this a possibility or was my hope misplaced?
#2
OS revisions are still in development and support is a bit flaky. Have patience.
#3
I'm just hoping to get official word that Dolby and DTS passthrough was in the roadmap. Also, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.
#4
Not sure about Plex, but with Netflix, you will NEVER get HD video or Dolby Digital or DTS with this board and version of Android or Remix OS.
#5
Never? Please shed some light on how you know this, clarkss12. Is it a hardware or a software issue?

I'm assuming it's a limitation Netflix puts on the Android app.

Yes, Dogger, that is correct.  I have almost 2 dozen of different Android TV boxes and the only one that can have Netflix in HD is my Nexus which has the official Android TV OS.

Isn't that dependent on a specific version of DRM library (Widevine DRM) and Netflix certification? see here http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/12/30/w...n-netflix/
Come have a chat in the Pine IRC channel >>

So if those drm and widewine issues are fixed, a Netflix certification of at least the Android image should be within reach, right?

According to the article, Netflix only certified a couple box vendors with multi-million deployment figures and no new devices recently...
