Don't know what you are trying to show in the video above.

Does the movie play at all on the P6 ?  Like do you have video, but the Audio is not recognized or passthru ?  Or does the video give an error when you try to play it ?  

Have you tried playing it with any other video player, like VLC ?

Just trying to understand why you assume it is a truehd issue, since that is just audio codec.

Doesn't the movie play in the video I uploaded?

Oh it plays, but if it plays, what's the issue ?

Don't you hear how it plays? I hear how the audio sounds with the video I uploaded.. sorry I can't explain the sound,  the movie plays but the audio is like a screeching sound...

Sorry, I don't hear a screeching sound.. I hear what sounds like a "marching" sound.  Like we are supposed to know if that is a normal movie intro ?  Maybe a roaring tiger soon will be considered abnormal also during an intro

Like I mentioned earlier, have you TRIED playing the same movie with something like VLC, MX Player, HB Player, etc.. ?  Could just be a codec issue with Kodi.  Keep in mind that your 4900 runs on Android 9, and the P6 is Android 13.  So Kodi surely uses different logic on which codecs take priority.

I have not used Kodi in nearly a decade (shortly after it got renamed from xbmc), so it is anything BUT a reference.  Try removing certain aspects from the equation by trying different players.

Thank you... Okay then "marching" sound...

And no that isn't normal movie intro... it does the same marching sound when playing ANY TRUEHD movie... yes I am aware that the 4900 uses android 9 compared to android 13 for the P6 Powerstation...

Kodi movies using a specific repository have to use the Kodi media player..

Thank you for your help...

I'll just play NON TRUEHD movies that's all... because they sound so much clearer, louder and awesome with my Sonos system...

Just thought there was an easy fix...

If you can not test it WITHOUT kodi, then there is no way to confirm if the problem is KODI on android 13, kodi codec issues, the plugin on Android 13, or something on the P6.

Buzz does not provide support for 3rd party apps, unless the issues is actually specific to the Buzz box or BuzzTV app itself.  If you had download the Mp4 file locally, you can have ran more tests to be able to pinpoint what is causing the issue.
