Bonfi 2 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi all, I'm having some problem with the playback of movies with more than one audio track. The tracks are correctly shown in the movie page under "Media Info" (in this case the first track is "und" but I don't care): I can also see them on the list menu when I play the video: But when I try to change it, it doesn't work, the playback freeze for a second and then restart with the same audio track. I tried on several browsers, all with the same result. It works on the mobile app (Android) if the playback is on the device, if I try to control another device from the smartphone (chromecast or web client) it doesn't work. If I download the movie on my pc with VLC I'm able to change the audio track. I'm using emby server Version 3.0.5781.3 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04. If you need any log, tell me what you want and I'll be glad to collect it. Thanks in advance, Bonfi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djonnie 14 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Your webbrowser can Direct Play your mp4 file. When using Direct Play you cannot change the audio track in the Web Client. When you would force the Web Client to transcode your file, you would be able to change the audio track.

Luke 37060 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi, we can look at why the track change is failing. For playback issues please see how to report a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this thread: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/22974-webm-file-with-multiple-audio-streams/?hl=%2Bwebm+%2Bswitch I did a research before posting, and I even saw your post, but I wasn't sure it's the same problem. I tried right now to force the transcoding, and it works, but unfortunately my server isn't powerful enough to transcode in real time.. That's why I transcode everything before adding to emby. Hi, we can look at why the track change is failing. For playback issues please see how to report a problem. At this point I'm not sure if I have to report the problem..

Luke 37060 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 In the direct play scenario, although the browser can play your file, the browser video players do not support changing audio tracks. The good news is that this feature is listed on the chromestatus.com roadmap. Until then you'll have to rely on transcoding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonfi 2 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks for your help. Do you think it's the same problem with the chromecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yes, transcoding is required to change tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
