Samsung smart TV no longer supports DTS audio track

Hi all,

Having purchased a new Samsung 4k Smart TV it looks like they no longer support DTS audio tracks,

- DivX and DTS codecs are not supported by the Samsung TV models released in 2018.

Can anyone recommend a budget media player that supports DTS?

No firmware updates available?

It looks like Samsung have dropped support for DivX and DTS, it's not a bug. Does anyone know if a soundbar would be able to decode the DTS soundtrack?

Some do, Sonos def don't after reading up on them for the past week or so only DD5.1 and PCM unless you have something that will transcode on the fly.

Managed to get around it by using a raspberry pi running kodi.
