4K HDR & HD Audio on Vero 4K+ – Installation Help

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if Netflix can be installed on the Vero 4K+ in a way that allows playback of 4K HDR with HD audio? If so, how can this be done?

I’ve tried going through related topics, but most are outdated and difficult to follow—many reference non-existent GitHub entries or add-ons that are no longer available.

Why this matters:

If you have a Netflix account, you can watch movies via:

  1. TV – but you’ll lose HD audio for an external sound system and you can’t broadcast it to your beamer.
  2. Netflix app on PC/Mac – but this may lead to picture and sound quality issues.
  3. Vero 4K+ – which seems like the best option if 4K HDR and HD audio are supported.

I’d really appreciate any guidance on whether this setup is possible and how to achieve it.

Thanks!

No, this is not possible on the Vero 4k as the platform is not certified

Why would you lose HD audio if you are doing passthrough on TV to AVR?

You would if you didn’t have eARC on either the TV or AVR.

eARC does not support DTS or DTS-HD, though this is mostly theoretical when it comes to Netflix. Another issue is that I can’t send video from the TV to the projector.

Thanks, this makes it clear that trying any workaround would be pointless.

pretty sure eARC does support dts and dts-hd. also Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS:X.
I’m not near my tv to confirm but I know it passes atmos from netflix on my samsung tv

Indeed.

eARC supports the latest high-bitrate audio formats up to192kHz, 24-bit, and uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel uncompressed audio. It also supports DTS-HD Master Audio™, DTS:X®, Dolby® TrueHD, and Dolby Atmos®.

In comparison, HDMI ARC only supports up to 6-channel compressed audio and has a maximum bandwidth of 1Mb/second. It supports different audio formats like PCM (2 channel), Dolby Digital (up to 5.1 channel) and DTS Digital Surround (up to 5.1 channel) .

You may be right, but unfortunately, my Samsung TV doesn’t support DTS, unlike the Vero 4K+. Besides, how am I supposed to watch Netflix on a projector while keeping both 4K HDR and HD audio?

I think the whole point of eARC is that the tv doesn’t need to support it. It passes the streams on regardless. Your external device (in my case a sound bar) does need to how ever

Maybe ask Netflix. They set the rules.

Most likely through a built in app on the projector.
