Â but still briefly to the user interface. the letter bar in the films is missing. the keypad is not called up when a password or other entries are made. Do you mean the a-z picker? It's on the left. Just make sure the sort order is sorting by title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat66655 3 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Yes, it works too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4283 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) ok - so we will need the Dev's to confirm this - but Exoplayer (the Android player) uses ffmpeg extensions to playback EAC3 - and there is a possibility that EAC3 7.1 is not yet supported in this build. If this is the case then Emby should have recognised this limit and forced an Audio downmix to AC3 5.1 tbh - I'm having trouble 'finding' a 7.1 EAC3 track to even test - All my 7.1 tracks are either True-HD or DTSHD. Streamed EAC3 content I have is always 5.1 EAC3 ...  Edited February 25, 2022 by rbjtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14923 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I actually think it is the bitrate of the audio track that is a problem. Older Fire's have trouble with DD over 640kbs. This track is 896k. I'll tighten up the restriction for this audio and it should solve this for you.

pat66655 3 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 with the bit rate is a good argument. is there anything i can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can test the next beta release of the app when it is ready. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
