OK, try this. Attached is a user-profile file. It contains two profiles, one that adds eac3 transcoding to the Sony profile and one that adds it to the Roku profile. Place this folder in your Serviio/config folder, then restart Serviio to ensure the new file is read. As long as I didn't make an error, it should load this file and you will have two new profiles to select from. Note that you have to manually select these profiles, they won't be used by default. But once you have selected them, Serviio will remember their selection, and installing a Serviio update will not overwrite this file.
For the Sony, the profile name is "Sony BDP-Sx100 w/DD+" and the Roku profile is "Roku 4K Media Player w/MPEG2 and DD+". They both inherit from the original profile, so everything should work as it does now, except you get EAC3 converted to standard DD. Note that I made the match container as any, so it shouldn't matter what container you are using.
If for some reason Serviio won't start with this file, then I made a boo boo somewhere, so let me know. However, I'm pretty confident it's correct.
Sony, along with other manufacturers, have been removing DLNA functionality over the years. I had older Sony BD players that would bitstream both Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. My current player (BDP-S3500), which isn't all that new, won't stream TrueHD/Atmos. That's why I bought an Nvidia Shield. It bitstreams them all, and I don't have to transcode anything, including videos in the WTV container. That one really surprised me. Plus the Shield plays all my captions without a problem. I don't really need a disc player anymore, since I rip everything to my server.
