canPlaySecondaryAudio return false for webos 4 and DTS transcoding issue #4729

Description

Describe The Bug
I have a LG C9 TV, running webos 4 and i'm using the jellyfin-webos app.
Webos 4 support DTS and HTMLMediaElement audioTracks property
If I try to play a video that has a DTS audio track, the file get transcoded (remuxed if i play a non DTS track, audio transcoding DTS to AC3 if I select the DTS track)

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Play a movie with more than one audio track of which at least one is DTS
  2. Notice the movie get remuxed or transcoded ( PlayMethod=Transcode, TranscodeReason=SecondaryAudioNotSupported )

Expected Behavior
It should play the movie without remuxing or transcoding

System (please complete the following information):

  • Platform: Webos
  • Browser: Webos app
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.8.10

Additional Context
The issue can be fixed by changing browser.web0sVersion >= 5.0 to browser.web0sVersion >= 4.0 in https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/master/src/scripts/browserDeviceProfile.js#L358C9-L358C9
with that line changed the movie is correcly played directly.

Ignoring the SecondaryAudioNotSupported issue, I would still have expected that when playing DTS audio (supported in webos4) it would simply remux and not transcode the audio track.

The issue seems to be caused by the request the app makes media:/videos/b08076b6-68eb-2d41-280a-81a9b6d181ca/master.m3u8?MediaSourceId=b08076b668eb2d41280a81a9b6d181ca&VideoCodec=h264,hevc,h264&AudioCodec=aac,mp3,ac3,eac3&AudioStreamIndex=3&VideoBitrate=139360000&AudioBitrate=640000&MaxFramerate=23.976025&api_key
I would expect AudioCodec=aac,mp3,ac3,eac to include DTS)
