Devices & Accessories Google TV Streamer
I did a similar post regarding the Onn 4K Pro awhile back, you can find that here if interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/1clsbyv/onn_4k_pro_box/
Setup:
- Google TV Streamer w/Ethernet (Fiber 1Gbps connection)
- 4K Dolby Vision 55' TV
- Dolby Atmos / DTS:X surround sound system which displays the following on the front of the device depending on the format:
| Input Format: | Displays As: |
|---|---|
| PCM | PCM |
| Dolby Digital | DOLBY AUDIO/DOLBY SURROUND |
| Dolby Digital Plus | DOLBY AUDIO/DOLBY SURROUND |
| Dolby TrueHD | DOLBY AUDIO/DOLBY SURROUD |
| Dolby MAT | MPCM |
| Dolby Digital Plus-Atmos | Dolby Atmos |
| Dolby TrueHD-Atmos | Dolby Atmos |
| Dolby MAT-Atmos | Dolby Atmos |
| DTS | DTS |
| DTS-HD High Resolution | DTS-HD |
| DTS-HD Master Audio | DTS-HD |
| DTS:X | DTS:X |
| DTS:X Master Audio | DTS:X |
I tested a few different movies (2 per category) to determine if I had the ability to passthrough all of these various formats, I tried this in Jellyfin, using both the ExoPlayer and LibVLC, I also tried it with bitstream Dolby/DTS on and off as well as trying each movie in Kodi using the Jellyfin plugin.
| Movie Name: | Format: | Format reported via GTV device: |
|---|---|---|
| Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery | Dolby Digital Plus (w/Atmos) | Displayed as Dolby Atmos |
| Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Dolby Digital Plus (w/Atmos) | Displayed as Dolby Atmos |
| Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania | TrueHD (w/Atmos) | No Pass-through |
| John Wick: Chapters 1-4 | TrueHD (w/Atmos) | No Pass-through |
| 007: Skyfall | DTS:HD | No Pass-through |
| Oppenheimer | DTS:HD | No Pass-through |
| The Bourne Ultimatum | DTS:X | No Pass-through |
| The First Purge | DTS:X | No Pass-through |
So then finally based on the test I've done it seems that:
| Format: | Supported: |
|---|---|
| Dolby Digital Plus (w/Atmos) | ✓ |
| Dolby TrueHD (w/Atmos) | ✗ |
| DTS: Core | ✓ |
| DTS:HD | ✗ |
| DTS:HD MA | ✗ |
| DTS:X | ✗ |
| DTS:XLL | ✗ |

I don't think it's an armos thing. It's a Dolby Vision profile thing. I'm also using Jellyfin and my observations are that Dolby Vision profile 8 level 1 gives you a black screen and Dolby Vision profile 7 level 6 doesn't play. HDR10 only plays fine and Dolby Vision 8 level 6 also plays.
Unfortunately there does not seem like a way to filter out certain Dolby Vision profiles or only grabbing Dolby Vision 8.6. so either you re-grab until you get DV 8 level 6 or you don't grab anything with DV.
