In this case your audio receiver must be able to support TrueHD (or any other advanced audio format) as the audio stream will be passed as is to the receiver for decoding.

I was wondering if it was possible to set up UMS on the Raspberry Pi 2, I wouldn't mind overclocking it a bit if that meant less stuttering for example. Thanks in advance, wevans59 Usually those SoCs aren't powerful enough for transcoding (unless you have custom drivers taking advantage of specific...

6 months later, is that assessment still valid ? I still use my PS3...but it seems there is not obvious replacement to it I think the main issue is that all manufacturers of Consumer Entertainment devices abandon them software wise once the new model is on the street.

However, H.265/HEVC, as the newest codec has not been accepted by these 4K TVs yet. It is necessary for us to transcode H.265/HEVC videos for playback on 4K ...

Probably I overcomplicated i...

If you're over wifi that may be the issue. Just for testing, why don't you move the PS4 close to the PC/router and connect it via cable?
