Strange. I hope I don't have to reinstall and start from scratch. @Luke, in the two attached logs, why would the portable version and the installed version (both 4.7.0.60) be requesting different audio bitrates for transcoding? Portable : VideoBitrate=5616001&AudioBitrate=384000 Installed : VideoBitrate=5360001&AudioBitrate=640000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3335 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It's due to different information about the audio stream: It requires a metadata refresh to update the data. (please do on both versions) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXH 70 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Should I run a metadata refresh on that file on both versions and then okay the video on both version again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamES 890 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 OK, but that's good. I expected that to be the case. @softworkz do you have any thoughts as to why the file in these logs will DirectPlay without problem, but when streamed (with the eac3 audio track being copied) audio no longer plays? This problem apparently happens on all files with eac3 for this user. My immediate thought is that the TV player doesn't support eac3 via hls (or at least not at that bitrate). That would be somewhat surprising (and disappointing) if that is the case. The same file plays fine on my older model Samsung TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please hold on, will round-up on this issue in a moment.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3335 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) What's happening here is this: 4.6 did not detect the audio bitrate when probing => E-AC3 with empty bitrate in Emby library db 4.7 detects it correctly as E-AC3 with 640 kbps After receiving the media info, the client makes its request: 4.6 without bitrate (and maybe channel layout), the client requests a generic audio bitrate of 384 kbps => the server doesn't know the E-AC3 stream bitrate => the server decides to transcode audio to AC3 4.7 the client sees the 640 kbps bitrate with E-AC3, thinks it can handle that and requests 640 for the audio bitrate => the server knows the actual bitrate, it matches the client request, the client has indicated to support E-AC3 => the server decides to copy the audio stream and muxes it with the video 35 minutes ago, SamES said: do you have any thoughts as to why the file in these logs will DirectPlay without problem, but when streamed (with the eac3 audio track being copied) audio no longer plays? This problem apparently happens on all files with eac3 for this user Unfortunately, there can be many reasons why it doesn't work: The HLS implementation can't handle it The player doesn't support E-AC3 in an mpegts container (unlikely - it's a TV and E-AC3 in mpegts is part of the standard) ffmpeg doesn't emit the mpeg E-AC3 descriptors (or not in a way that) the tv expects the tv doesn't like the delay between video and audio the generated time stamps the PCR PID selection something in the E-AC3 bitstream which is not part of (or not conforming to) the TV broadcast spec of maybe ffmpeg generates the ATSC-spec E-AC3 descriptors while the TV expects the DVB-spec variant (or vice versa) We'll need to look at the player to find out..

SamES 890 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 @andreaxheli, I think previously you also tested with this file that you gave me to test (The.100.S01E03.Earth.Kills.1080p.BluRay). Can you please try it again and upload a log, then softworks can compare if there are any differences between our two systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Can you please also test playing this file with directplay (playback quality set to auto). It is only very short, but please tell me if you get any audio 65E631_5.ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softworkz 3335 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Sorry for the confusion. We need to test two things: FIRST I need segment0.ts (when transcoding) from both of you to so I can compare them SECOND We need to test your file (remuxed to MPEGTS) amd then played via DirectPlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
