Just type the '@' symbol and start typing Luke. You should see a list popup. He will then automatically get a message saying you tagged him in this thread

I tested a little back and forth. The Emby Android client situation seems to have gotten worse since when I originally reported the issue in late May (as now tracks that did work won't play anymore). Monty Python's Life Of Brian 4K UHD: DTS-HD MA Tracks Stereo and 5.1 Emby Android: Doesn't work. It looks like playback is paused (TV switches to DV but screen stays black, playback sits at 00:00:00 and is not moving. No sound.). Emby Android TV: Everything works flawlessly. Dirty Harry 4K UHD: DTS-HD MA Track 5.1 Emby Android: Doesn't work. It looks like playback is paused (TV switches to HDR but screen stays black, playback sits at 00:00:00 and is not moving. No sound.). Emby Android TV: Everything works flawlessly. Both clients are installed on the same nVidia Shield TV Pro 2019. Both use the same user account with identical settings, access the same server, and thus, the same files. Logs have been provided already. I could look for more examples, but I don't see the benefit of doing this. It seems pretty obvious that the Emby Android client is doing something incorrectly in regards to DTS-HD MA audio streams. Thanks for looking into this.

I understand that you are not having the same issue as me but it does not mean it does not exist. This is some kind of an edge case I supposed? Does ATV and the universal app share the same code base? I doubt that otherwise this will not happen.

nvm, I found it under language settings. Placement threw me off a bit.

Thanks. How do I tag him then? I would really like to know what his opinion is on this since he is the Luke's Law

I must be blind-- wheres the toggle to enable series status per library?

@Luke- Any progress on this issue?

This may be more of a TOS 7 upgrade issue than Emby or Docker. After upgrading from 6 to 7 the way folder and file permissions are handled changes and should have been modified after the upgrade completed. I would check on that in the TM forums before rolling back. I'm currently running Emby in Docker on TOS 7, so it can work.

Emby for Italian is available in the app store if your language is set to Italian

Ya, you're probably okay unless since Luke didn't say anything Edit: he can always split it too if he wants to

Can't we tag him here to see what he has to say? Creating a new thread seems redundant. I think this is the best thread for this discussion as the title already says which android app to use. I would therefore like to use this thread to highlight the pros and cons of both apps. Let me know what you think. Thank you for your effort and time in this. I really really really appreciate it!

Hi @CBersI think this is the whole point: I don't want the Emby server to transcode. If I can get this working properly on ATV, why can't the universal Android version do that? You can't convince me in this case that both apps do the same thing, because they are not as I have the evidence in the screenshots. So for now I will stick to ATV until this is fixed. Thank you for testing and explaining. I appreciate your time and effort here.

Thank you for your patience, can you please try again?

If ebr can make ATV play it DD 5.1 then why wouldn't Luke be able to. Especially if it sounds better when the hardware converts it vs when the server does it Edit: and those options turned off of course

Both the ATV app and the Universal Android app remux the audio to present DD 5.1 to my Sonos Playbar with the option enabled, so not sure there's anything Luke needs to do.

@tattleronly thing I can suggest is opening your own thread and asking if Luke can make it happen with the new app just like ATV if you think it sounds better. Explaining everything and tag me and I'll mention I see the same the same. Otherwise do like CBers says and let the server do it if using the new app. Though I don't think ATV is going away any time soon if you don't want to. Or, get a new soundbar

@tattlerSo you just need to have the "Convert unsupported audio to DD" option enabled in the Universal Android app and you will get DD 5.1 on your Sonos soundbar, remuxed by your server. The ATV app already does it all for you, hence no option. These are my audio settings on the 2015 Shield connected to my Sonos Playbar.

Beta for the Windows app. You can check here for onboarding updates: https://beta.emby.media/ It's currently invite only.

So I made the unfortunate mistake of updating my TNAS-F4-424 Pro to TOS 7, I run Emby Server in Docker with container pulled from Linuxserver,io, Now Emby and access the folders with my media files. Emby can see the folders but wont point to them when I create a new library. I am reluctant to roll back to TOS 6. Please help, not very experienced with docker or CLI!

@CBersI agree with tattler that when having the Android settings like I/we posted and playing TrueHD Atmos I get 5.1 with the AndroidTV app and stereo with the Android app. Both apps say it's direct playing. I just can't confirm what the converted format is with my hardware, though I'm pretty sure the new app is getting converted to PCM 2.0. But, I'm not sure why I'm still getting surround with ATV. The conversion must be getting done at the hardware level. I know it's not TrueHD because Atmos is lost. @CBers If you wouldn't mind testing TrueHD Atmos with the following Android settings? I had to turn off DTS, DTSHD, and TrueHD manually, but that's probably your default on the Sonos Then within the two apps make sure you aren't allowing the server to transcode and it's direct playing in SFN. I get 5.1 with one and 2.0 with the other being converted assumingly at the hardware level by both.

Hi @CBersand @FrostBytethanks for testing this functionality. I appreciate it. So I went on testing to compare the ATV version and the Android version. Shield TV Pro (2019) settings: Playing X-Men Days of Future Past with DTS-HD MA 7.1. The results are below. ATV version: SONOS app: Android version (option to convert to DD in the app setting is disabled): SONOS app: Android version (option to convert to DD in the app setting is enabled): SONOS app: One thing to note: please ignore the subtitle burn-in with hardware from the diagnostics plugin as it is not relevant. It has worked for me flawlessly so that is not the cause. I just want to focus on this comparison between the ATV and Android version. I hope this is more clear now what issue I am facing. If you need more details, please let me know.

Yes but people are paying for this product, so the money should fund more engineers if they have too much workload. waiting 6 years for basic features is not acceptable, as paying customers we have every right to expect better

Hello - any progress on this? Every day this week I've had to delete the American Experience documentary "The Vote" from my recording queue since I recorded it 6 years ago when it first aired, but which is apparently in heavy rotation this week. Maybe add an option for "I already have this."

I have this same issue.

any updates on this issue.
