teicang 27 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi Sam, stupid question, is it not possible to do a dirty patch to force the emby app to use the second language (I suppose NOT the DEFAULT one) only as a temporary solution while waiting for the Samsung fix? Most of the movies with the problem at the moment only have two languages present, English and Italian (in my case), so if we force the second I think I can use it while waiting for the final solution Do you think it might be possible? many thx \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 880 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The issue is that regardless of what we do, it's only playing the first track, so what you have suggested won't work. One option is that we can force it to do the track switching on the server instead of the client. This is easy and doesn't add much overhead as no conversion is done, but this may cause other problems, particularly for 4K/HEVC content where we know we have problems when delivered by HLS My concern is that if we can't determine exactly which models this impacts (and at this stage I'm not certain of that) it may causes more problems than it fixes. From what you've seen, is it only people with 2021 model TV's that are having this problem? However, it is an option to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also an another old model of samsung TV and on this model the languagge swap works fine (very old model I think around 8 years old) \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5024 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I bet a script could be written to change the second (Italian) audio track in a library to the default using the mkvtoolnix cli. It would only be a header change, no remuxing. Samsung isn't known to be very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, I'm just not sure whether it is only playing the first track or the default track. ie: if the default track is the second audio track, which one gets played? @teicang this is something you could test if you have a file with the second audio track flagged as the default, or alternatively you could set the second track as default with Mkvtoolnix and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you and Frost explain me how to proceed I sure perfor a test Frost were I can dowload the mkvtoolnix cli and could me quick explain what have to do to convert the movies? I can dowload one of the movies with double audio were the problem is present from my NAS to my PC ,covert it with mkvtool and after load back and see what happen \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5024 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) MKVToolNix Downloads – Matroska tools for Linux/Unix and Windows Once you start Click "Header editor" on the left Open your file (drag and drop works) Find your two audio tracks under "Type" Expand them and change Default to "No" for English and "Yes" for the Italian track Then click "Save from the menu Then refresh your movie and Emby should see the other track as the default All this does is change the default flag for the audio tracks and they will still be in the same order inside the file. Try that first as it would be the easiest to change without remuxing and only takes a few seconds. Edited June 14, 2022 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teicang 27 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 good, today and tomorrow I'm out . Asap I will come back I will test the procedure. in the meantime I dowload the tool and start to have some feeling with it I'll keep you updated many thx for your help \Gianni 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 880 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Can you try installing firmware version 2001.4 and check if this issue still exists? It was released last week. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/QE65Q80AATXXU/#downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released last week. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/QE65Q80AATXXU/#downloads Sure Sam, this evening I will check direct from TV if it already discovered the update. In this case I will update it immediately ad test again the fault. Hoping to have good news for you Meanwhile Frost, waiting to go home, I just download a few minutes of different movies just to analyze them with MKVTool to find some logic in the fault movies. BUT unfortunately I'm not be able to undestand which could be the reason, some time ,also if the default languagge is setting well in Italian the problem is present This is an example of English movie playback even though the default setting is correct in Italian.

FrostByte 5024 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Looking at those examples it looks like the correct one (Italian) is already set as default. If you're having the same issue with that movie then I'm seeing a couple things that may also cause the issue which SamES alluded to above. First, typically the order of things is all video, all audio, all subtitles, and then chapter tracks. What you have is a video, audio, subs, another audio, more subs, etc. It could be that the Tizen player goes down the track list (all tracks are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc to whatever) and sees the first couple of subs and no longer checks for audio tracks. So, just moving the Italian audio track up underneath the English track may help. Example 1: Video Audio English Audio Italian (default) Sub English Sub English Sub Italian (default) Sub Italian Chapter Secondly, if you were to arrange the order of the different tracks you could just go ahead and move the default (Italian) audio and Sub tracks above the English ones. With the top track in each category being the default track. This is how all mine are ordered. Example 2: Video Audio Italian (default) Audio English Sub Italian (default) Sub Italian Sub English Sub English Chapter Changing the order will require a remux using Mkvtoolnix though. However, nothing is lost and you're just putting everything in another mkv container though in a different order. If you felt like testing this with your movie you could first try moving the Italian (default) up underneath the English track like in the first example above combining like tracks. Try it. Then if that still doesn't work put the default track above the others like in Example 2. If you were to do this and let @SamES know then maybe he could take a look at the code and possibly fix something.

To move the track as for example 1 , Can I just drag with the mouse the Italian Audio track e move up , I have done and now the structure is how the picture is thi correct ?, after I push save but NO remux has been done, is this correct? \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5024 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 For remuxing click the "Mulitiplexer" tool in the left column. Then open your file (drag and drop works). In the Tracks window below click on a track and drag it to where you want it. You should see a line indicating where it is when you drop it. Then click the "Start multiplexing" button at the bottom Example, I could click on AC-3 track and drag it up above the E-AC-3 track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teicang 27 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 hi Frost, I tryed but in the multi plex view I found this situation were the Italian track is immediately after the english track and not in position 5 , however now I try to move how first track and remux .see the second picture. after remux I will try \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teicang 27 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 UPDATE : GOOD NEWSSS after remux the languagge start in Italian , so the first position is the Key. I saw only one problem, the audio is out sync with the video very little. To be sure that is not the movies its self, tomorrow I will try with another movies to confirm that the position is the key and if the out of sync is present also in the second movies. good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 880 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 What you are seeing makes sense to what I ave also observed. The first track is always played, no matter what is set in the file I would try the new firmware. It can take quite a while before the TV automatically updates. I would suggest downloading it and installing it via USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sam yesterday night also update the Tv with a new sw 2001 but unfortunately first test I have done the problem is yet present Today I try to remux also another movies with the Audio problem to confirm that the moving in first position works fine and say if the loss of sync is a problem in all the remuxed movies or not. bye \Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 880 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Thanks for trying the firmware update. It's good to see that Samsung are still releasing these for your model, so with some hope they may fix this issue one day. I've made a change to do the audio track switching on the server for 2021 models, and it also implements another method to try and overcome some other issues with 4K/HEVC content when we do this. It may help, or it may cause a whole bunch of new issues. Luke will create another USB installation so that you can test this before we release it, so hopefully you can try that in the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I will test, in the meantime I convert another movies and confirm that after the remux moving the audio track in fisrt position IT Works I looking forward for the new release to test it I'm lefting the movies with the problem so I can do several test ciaooooo \Gianni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 880 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 @teicangcan you please download and try the latest USB release (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/blob/master/tizen/tizen.zip) Please let me know if this causes any new problems. Can you also try some 4K/HEVC files that have an AC3 track as not the first audio track (ie second, third audio track) and make sure the picture quality is OK. Please also check stats for nerds and check the playback method. When you select the first audio track you should see DirectPlay (unless the first track is TrueHD or DTS in which case it will also be DirectStream), then , then when you select another audio track you should see DirectStream. Hopefully in this case the picture quality is still OK. If possible, could you post a photo for me when you can play the second audio track?

teicang 27 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 First test done. Great result . The audio now is selectable I tried several movies were i know the problem is present . Now it works, I moved from 1 audio track to second and vice versa, always the language selected was right. The only strange thing is , I don t see on the nerd statistic the directstream indication also if the audio was in Ac3. Tomorrow I will continue to make some other test. Following the picture I made on a movie with Italian as a second track. Now is possible to hear the Italian language. Let me know if I can make some other more interested test for you. /Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
