YDalu 8 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi All, On some music files in FLAC format, Emby returns: "No compatible stream currently available". Reading the same file works: -- on an Android smartphone (11) with Emby (3.3.86), -- on a PC (Debian 12) with Emby web 4.8.5. File audio, result of ffmpeg -i : Input #0, flac, from '09 - I've Done It Again.flac': Metadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2mp41 album_artist : Grace Jones disc : 1 track : 9/9 artist : Grace Jones album : Nightclubbing date : 1981 genre : Electronic; Reggae; Pop; New Wave; Dub; Disco; Synth-pop; Reggae-Pop title : I've Done It Again encoder : Lavf59.27.100 Duration: 00:03:51.18, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1511 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: flac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s32 (24 bit) Stream #0:1: Video: png, rgb24(pc), 599x589, 90k tbr, 90k tbn (attached pic) Thank you in advance for the feedback.

tedfroop21 39 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I would check tags on those files. Emby is a little more strict than some other programs and expects FLAC tags only, other tag types attached may cause problems with playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamES 893 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 LG TV's are a bit picky about playing audio files that won't DirectPlay natively, flac being one of those, and transcoding them for playback is also not very successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YDalu 8 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 99% of my FLAC files are highly played. Except some and I can't find the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 893 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think I’ve looked into this before. Let me check some old posts tomorrow and I’ll see what I can find. I think the difference was mp41 vs mp42 differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YDalu 8 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Thanks in advance ! Take your time, I have other ways to play my music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 893 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Found it. This was a Samsung issue with EAC3 but I suspect your problem may be the same. Can you confirm if the files that work correctly and mp42 vs the ones that don’t being mp41? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YDalu 8 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 I will do some test. I'll come back ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YDalu 8 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 I modified the file with ffmped like that : ffmmpeg ffmpeg -i '09 - I've Done It Again.flac' \ -metadata major_brand="" \ -metadata minor_version="" \ -metadata compatible_brands="" \ '09 - I've Done It Again.1.flac' Now, on my TV set, Emby plays the audio fiile. I wiil make a script to update the others FLAC files. Thanks a lot ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update, glad you resolved it. So was this actually the difference - mp41 vs mp42? What does ffmpeg -i report now after you fixed the files?

YDalu 8 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Hello, Mp41 does not work hence my issue. I tried with mp42, that doesn't work either. I come back to your point about LG TVs. Also, I did a playback test with the TV's native audio player and... it works! So, it's the Emby app on LG TV that doesn't know how to play this type of audio file. I remind you that Emby on Android (11) or on PC (Linux Debian 12), reads the file correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YDalu 8 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Hi, sorry for the downtime! I think it's a WebOS version issue. My TV is 4 years old and the OS version is 04.50.56. There is no need to insist further. I have a solution and my problem concerns around fifty files. This will quickly be fixed with a shell script. Thanks for the support and see you soon for another problem. Best regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
