FWIW, I can replicate the original issue report of no DTS-HD-MA audio. I've no idea what the problem is though, other than it's most likely to be an issue in the DRM layer, and right now (and since I only use PCM output in testing) I'm not motivated to look into the issue further. I am highly confident the issue is specific to Amlogic hardware so no need for you to find RPi threads and make "me too" posts there, it's only adding distraction to other people's (different) issues.

You are wrong again about the vendor firmware. It is precisely running the vendor firmware image where everything does not work in Dreambox. You have to install an image developed by people who know what they do for everything to work properly.
It has nothing to do with Amlogic hardware, in CoreELEC HEVC 4K UHD works on Dreambox without the alleged problems you say would occur. If I preferred LibreELEC it was only because it was a newer version than @emanuel's CoreELEC. The one modified by him is very old and nobody plans to update it.
By the way, there is no need to delete my posts in another thread about “No Audio Passthrough” when I try to help people without making fun of them or making them believe that works what does not work. I see more people are joining that other thread with the same problems. Good luck with that.

The fact that chewitt didn't know what he was talking about regarding Dreambox has been clear from the beginning when he didn't even know that LibreELEC images don't work on this device no matter how much he insists on sending people to read info about things he hasn't even tested with a Dreambox. My question was directed to @emanuel.
The silence of _emanuel_ is enlightening, if he has not said anything about it is because he knows that there are all those problems in LibreELEC that you mention but he has no way to solve them.
If those who have a Dreambox and have tried LibreELEC haven't noticed all this up to this point is because they have simply only run 1080p videos max, haven't enabled Expert mode to see that in some versions there is no passthrough and haven't tried to change the language or play a 3D SBS or HOU video. LibreELEC this way is completely useless. Of course this is not solved by blaming others for trying solutions before asking.
