nmkaufman 49 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) When I play a video file with multi-channel AAC, the emby app transcodes to AC3 due to "channel limit exceeded." When I play a video file with multi-channel OPUS, emby let's the audio direct-play, and my TV decodes it as stereo. Is there a way to override this behavior, and let emby know my TV doesn't support this format? Similar to the DLNA device setup? It's the GoogleTV UI on a Sony sony x91j/x91cj TV, in case that matters. edit: 'Playback correction' resolves this issue, but I'll need to remember to do it every time (even for the same movie.) I would still like to make this behavior permanent, if possible. Edited January 2, 2023 by nmkaufman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14929 Posted January 3, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hi. It is converting the audio on the server actually due to the option to do that set in the app. We'd have to look at expanding the scope of that option. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmkaufman 49 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Converting the audio is what I want (trasnscode unsupported multi-channel audio to Dolby Digital). The issue is that it works for AAC but not OPUS. It direct-plays multi-channel OPUS, which my TV does not support.

Luke 37112 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Can you try updating to the latest version of the sideload build? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html We've updated our embedded video player to the latest version. Let's see if it plays better with that. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if it plays better with that. Thanks ! I sideloaded Emby for Android 3.2.91 and it worked great but still direct-plays Opus 5.1 and sends stereo to my receiver. One of my gripes about my Sony TV is that the UI is very dumbed down. I have no way of determining whether my TV is recognizing that the file is 5.1 or not. All I know is that my receiver is receiving 2-channel LPCM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
