[REQUIRED] Use case description

I'd like DTS-HD support, audio sounds strange on my Android TV without it.

Proposed solution

Implement DTS-HD, even DTS-X for better audio support

Alternatives considered

VLC, Just Player, lots of other players support this with no issues.

ExoPlayer generally relies on decoders provided by the device, so DTS-HD support is down to whether the device supports it or not (and not all Android (TV) devices are required to support it). I believe that when a device supports decoding DTS-HD, playback of such content should work with ExoPlayer.

You may be able to use the FFmpeg extension to decode DTS-HD if it's not supported by your device, but I don't know if FFmpeg supports decoding DTS-HD.

I'm going to close this issue, because it isn't really a feature request for ExoPlayer, since we don't maintain media decoder implementations in this library.
