Recently spun up new Emby server ~ 500 tittles of mix .mkv, Mp4 and BD. Video playback seems fine however audio decoding via Apple TV (gen 4K) device is not passing thru HDMI receiver correctly. Media-info shows audio format below. Format :AC-3,Dolby Digital Codec ID :A_AC3 Bit rate :448 kb/s Channel(s) :6 channels Channel layout :L R C LFE Ls Rs Sampling rate :48.0 kHz This Issue: The receiver indicates multichannel format on the display, sound working for L,C, R, LF (sub), but not surround L or R. I have eliminated the file as the the problem for the reason that Roku devices played from the same server and AVR combo and produce sound from all channels. So this points to the interface between Emby app and Apple TV device. Furthermore, I ruled out the Apple TV device and my AVR together because other content played directly from apple store downloads sound as they should with surround L and R working. Also , ran the app "speaker Check" for apple TV and this verified all channels working through receiver HDMI / Apple TV. My conclusion, something is preventing full multichannel support (L and R surrounds in this case) from working as it should and I suspect the Emby Apple TV app/interface is the issue. This is such a basic feature not to be working so I am sure I am not the first to notice if a know issue, or, my setup is unique somehow but I don't that is the case either. If anyone else is having this issue please comment. Also, if this is working as it should for you please share your settings. I have tried many settings without success. One other question regarding enabling MPV, I don't see a plugin so this feature must be integrated with the interface. Thx Bnw

Hi! I have an .mka file with two audio tracks inside, a .dts and a .flac track (and some pdf, png, txt, cue). They are the same music, but the flac is stereo while the dts is 5.1. I would like to keep both versions and listen to both on a stereo and on a multichannel system respectively. I extracted the tracks with mkvectract, tha flac plays fine, and while the dts is recognised by emby, I cant seem to play it on my receiver. How should I store these for emby to be able to play them? (in one file, if possible, without recoding, if possible and with tagging and art, if possible) Thank you in advance.
