Dear All, I've been struggling with a strange problem for some time now: When I stream files from my movie library, they only play when subtitles are activated. As soon as I deactivate the subtitles, the movies stop streaming. I'm stuck with the turning wheel. The issue is reproducible. It doesn't matter whether I switch the subtitles on or off before streaming of movie, or in between. It's super annying as I don't like subtitles at all. I'm attaching the emby server logs, including the ffmpeg logs documenting me successfully streaming the same movie with subtitle, and getting stuck without it. The Emby server (4.7.13.0) runs on a debian-based OMV server in a docker environment. I use the current Emby app (2.0.83g) from the Playstore on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. No sideloading, nothing fancy. Any advice appreciated. embyserver (5).txt ffmpeg-remux-5a81ff41-74a7-4f21-8acf-d485e745a567_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-88409a99-85f0-4b05-a84e-114ea323b4f8_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-60852434-03c6-4b71-8abc-d0cc389d78d6_1.txt

Preamble / Background: I have a ton of Audiobooks, mostly Audible, but some not. But None of my options are any good at organizing them, and having them on multiple platforms is a nuisance, as is not being able to stream them from my media server. So - I tried making an "Audiobook" Library, but that was a big sea of files (or folders) and the audiobooks had the metadata fields of a song and I couldn't structure my collections into series, all of which was really not great. In a Stroke of 'What If' - I thought - "Maybe I can import them all as a TV Series instead?" So I tried it. I renamed the m4a files to mp4. And then I tested it on web. And it worked perfectly. ff/rw/pause/resume/continue. And then I tested it on Mobile. And it worked perfectly there as well. I know it's kind-of off-label , but Audiobooks-As-TV-Series is perfect interface-wise. I made the audiobook into a 'season' within the overall series, and that let me have individually sectioned chapters (as episodes), and jump between them easily. I also tried converting the same audiobook to a single m4a/mp4 with 'chapters' and Emby detects those correctly as well - though only accessible on Web, no mobile. If you could access the chapters on Android when opening it as a TV-Show, all-in-one, All-In one would be ideal, organizationally - but I can manage with many short episodes instead - that's not the reason for this thread. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/288765161_868742904085050_4858505779076026758_n.png?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=ae9488&_nc_ohc=BVfNNBZabnQAX9cbNly&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=03_AVIjvEAgPwfankfz-LOLbPy_tyjcgti5CyCiZanXT4_hLQ&oe=62F059D2 I mean - I had to populate the metadata myself, but that's not so hard. Mostly copy paste. And I've gotten pretty good at it at this point. It's a bit rough looking and only partly filled in, but it is a test. With this working - I would / will be able to neatly insert my "The Clone Wars" audiobooks (Ahsoka, and the Ventress novel) where they fit into "The Clone Wars", which would / will be ideal. -------------- The Problem: It does not work on the TV. The TV says "Too Many Errors, Giving Up", rather than playing the audio over a black screen with controls like I expected after seeing it work flawlessly on web and mobile. --------------- The Request / Bug Report / Whatever this is: I would really like it if the TV Client handled such files the same way mobile and web do, by playing the audio and not freaking out about the lack of a video track. Then I can import the rest of my audiobooks (many of which are Forgotten Realms Novels written by a dozen authors, that I would like to add to my media library in chronological order making up one giant forgotten realms "show" with like 50 "seasons" (that I own). I can manage without being able to use it on my TV, but being able to use it on my TV would be very helpful. ----------------- Aside: Feature Request Being able to access video chapters on mobile would be handy. ------------------ Thank you for your time.

Android TV. In the subtitle brightness option dropdown there is one called "dimmer". Could someone explain to me what this option does? Thanks. Regards.

Hallo Ich habe ein Problem mit der Wiedergabe von 4K HEVC HDR Dateien. Etwa alle 30 Minuten friert ( stoppt ) Bild und Ton für 1-2 Sekunden ein, zu Ende des Films kann das häufiger vorkommen. Ich nutze die 2019er Shield pro als Server und Client. Die Filme liegen auf meinen Synology NAS. Das Problem tritt mit der Version 4.5.0 und der aktuellsten Beta 4.6.0.37 auf. Mit Kodi auf der Shield läuft es einwandfrei. Ich habe den Emby Server auch testweise auf meinen Desktop PC installiert und die Shield nur als Client laufen lassen, das funktionierte auch ohne Probleme. Hat jemand da vielleicht eine Idee? Mir gefällt das Emby so nämlich richtig gut und ich würde das gerne weiter nutzen. Danke und Gruß Pelleembyserver.txt

Shield is connected to receiver and I have pass-through select. I'm not getting sound with files that are AAC. All other file type the audio is fine. Tried deselecting pass-through and downmixing instead of auto. Not sure what to try next. This was working a few weeks ago. I have a feeling it's a bug with the last shield update
