sgarfinkle 1 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 @Luke Any progress on this problem? Makes emby pretty much useless to me for live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkdean 29 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Good AM, Checking in on this topic. We don't use the HD HomeRun Flex Quatro often, but decided to test this AM. Noticing that there is no audio in ATSC 3.0 channels, takes 15+ seconds to tune, & some channels cause local Emby app to lock up when you try to back out of the feed. Has support for Dolby AC-4 been added to Beta? If so, I can add the xTeVe tuner to the beta docker & test. Appreciate you guys!

I'm running a test Emby 4.8.0.21 beta server. I have the HD HomeRun Flex Quatro too and I am getting audio on the ATSC3 channels. On my HTPCs with Emby Theater it direct plays AC4 audio. On my Apple TV & Android Shields it transcodes AC4 to AC3, but it still plays with clear video and sound. And, yes, it does take about 15-20 seconds to tune into an ATSC3 channel, but once it's tuned it plays well.

I don't really "do" Windows since I left the working world. But, at some point, I will test on one of my husbands Windows machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emveepee 112 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Direct play of HEVC is one thing, direct play of AC-4 is quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question is very advanced for me . I didn't "manage" to do anything, I simply installed the server, connected with Emby Theater/HTPC, Apple TV, and Android Shield, and reported what I saw in the Dashboard. I've been a member on the forum since 2019, but I only made my first post last month regarding Apple TV here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/114693-why-is-apple-tv-converting-transcoding-and-deinterlacing-live-tv/#comment-1209478 As I stated, I'm technically experienced in IT sysadmin, except when it comes to multimedia/streaming - I am a noob, still learning all the terminology. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what the Dashboard is reporting? I do understand that "HEVC is one thing, direct play of AC-4 is quite different", but again just reporting what I saw when playing on HTPC: Stream: Direct Play Video: 1080p HEVC Direct Play Audio: English AC4 5.1 Direct Play When playing from Apple TV or Android Shield, the Audio line states that it's transcoding from AC4 to AC3. Can't do screenshots at this time, so my wording my not be accurate, but just reporting what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right image from Android Shield. More info on MY ATSC3 experience on beta 4.8.0.21... Watching the transcoding folder, there is no transcoding when playing HTPC, except for the one ts file, which to be honest, I've never understood if it's not transcoding, what is it? But it's always there on all my stable versions too even when playing direct. On the beta, when playing on Android Shield & Apple TV, there is a new folder and lots of transcoding files in it.

Now if I could just get emby to work on my windows box and. my flex. in the meantime, I've installed a new AM4 cpu and motherboard and moved to windows 11 and the problem is the same. Maybe I should just give up and jump to fedora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhardi 19 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Sorry, I can't remember the mods names. @Luke@ebr should my replies to this thread be moved to Testing Area/Emby Server? I was replying to @darrenkdean about no audio on atsc3 channels & support for Dolby AC-4 on Beta. I was simply sharing MY experience that I DO get ac4 audio on 4.8.0.21 beta when using htpc (not on apple tv & android shield). It seems like this might veer into discussions way above my understanding, and I just wanted to share feedback, as requested on beta dashboard, from MY experience. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes, ideally beta discussion should be in the Testing Area. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
