Emby for Android TV now has sound with ATSC 3.0

[clarkss12 296]

A couple of months ago, I purchased an inexpensive insignia 4k TV for the bedroom.  

Originally, I had no audio using the Android ATV version of Emby while playing the ATSC 3.0 channels.  This evening I tried it again, and bingo, the ATSC 3.0 channels play perfectly with audio.

Great job!!!  Emby Devs. 

Edit:  One question.  I am making the assumption that Emby is able to use the ATSC 3 channels with the AC4 audio codec, because the TV supports that codec.  Is that the case, or is Emby decoding the AC4 codec regardless if the device supports that AC4 codec??

thanks

Stats for nerds should tell you.

It does show that the AC4 audio codec is being transcoded. 

Also, tested the ATSC 3 channels playing on my ONN box and the audio also plays.  

That is a fantastic job that you guys did................
