Do you have media with DTS (not Dolby) 5.1 audio tracks, and can Jellyfin pass it through from the AppleTV to your TV or A/V receiver?

So I have an Apple TV 4K, but I don't use the official client. I use Infuse. The Apple TV 4K does not support DTS passthrough, but Infuse will decode DTS on the device itself and pass it through to the receiver as uncompressed lossless multi-channel LPCM. I.e. the server is not transcoding in any capacity The biggest hurdle for Plex, Jellyfin, etc is the variability of the devices and the nuances around what they do…

Thanks, I'll check Infuse. It's weird that the other commenter claims Apple TV can passthrough DTS.

Of all the posts I've seen on this website, this one is the worst

Notice their username, someone who just wants to hold the contrarian opinion. Even when they're right, very tiring to deal with

while you are correct I am very contrarian....

I do happen to like both PHP and Powershell (and C#)

I like the syntax, I like the languages.

I find Bash, python, and other "traditional" linux admin tools to be harder to use. Bash especially, I hate dealing with text streams, i would much rather pass objects around

I use Infuse, so it must have been transparently solving the problem for me.

> every time I acquire a new episode of bluey or something, my wife wants to watch it first I wish Jellyfin had something similar, as my current process involves manually tagging things with a tag that isn't visible, then removing that tag once I've reviewed it.

Is it possible to automate that via webhook or something similar? You could have whatever media acquisition program you use set that tag, and then remove it whenever you're done. Would eliminate 50% of the steps, until more granular abilities are added

I believe there's an API and I could maintain a microservice to do that for me, but there are probably a bunch of people who want a similar feature and don't want to have to run a microservice to achieve it.

Breaking DRM to rip physical media isn't legal in basically any mainstream country in the world (since membership of the WTO requires you to pass an anti-circumvention law). Heck, in major nations (like the UK) ripping unencrypted media isn't legal.

My understanding is that the librarian of Congress has granted an exemption to the DMCA anti-circumvention clause to allow ripping DVDs for non-infringing fair use purposes, including personal backups. I am not a lawyer, though.

They have not.

There were campaigners asking for one but it wasn't given.

Nice, I'm sure that works great on an iPad in the car

How is your iPad going to connect to your media server on the road with no signal?

There have been iPads with cellular modems since launch.
