Raspberry Pi 3 with LibreElec 8.2.5 - not Dolby TrueHD passthrough

1st Official Post

    With the above combination in the audio section if you turn on passthrough audio, the only options are DD,EAC-3 and DTS, no TrueHD. I tried the latest distro and it's the same but reverted back to 8.2.5 since the latest crashed and hung on my regularly.

    Is this a Pi3 limitation or a limitation in LibreElec? Without TrueHD I can't get Atmos support.

    Interesting if I play content in TrueHD (running off Plex) I can hear audio but I presume the Pi3 is playing the DD core only.

    RPi3 hardware does not support any of the HD formats (TrueHD, Atoms, etc.) although you should get the 5.1 core on media that uses HD audio (what plex will be doing). RPi4 supports it in hardware but not yet in software.
