Hi,

Seems Emby is not able to play M4A files created by youtube-dl (and avconv in process), it complains about missing compatible streams:

in logs (attached) I found:

And it's not supported by ffmpeg at this time, so we're a little stuck. If you can provide a sample file for testing then we'll add it to our to do list for research, but your best bet will be converting the files to something more commonly used.
