rfischer1984 3 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 When I tell it to direct play with embedded vlc it only plays in stereo, but when I turn off vlc, it plays 5.1 surround flawlessly, but i dont want to transcode every video when the fire tv plays them all on direct play no problem using plex. I really like everything else about emby but this is a big issue for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Must be a first gen Fire TV, right? What version of Fire OS is it running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfischer1984 3 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) No its the 2nd generation. I am sorry, I should have made that known. But if i play it with direct play using vlc, it only play in 2.0 sound. It wont play play 5.1 at all. which is weird cuz my plex does. I do like emby and so far prefer it but not being able to play 5.1 is a deal breaker. I even paid for a month to help support it. BTW it is version 5.0.2.2 thanks Edited October 25, 2015 by rfischer1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Are they DD or DTS tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfischer1984 3 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Are they DD or DTS tracks? some are dts and some are dd. I know dts wont even play on my plex. but none of my 5.1 movies will direct play in 5.1..Is there a setting in handbrake that is recommended? I can always redo them all. thats takes a long time but at least will let me know if it solves my issue. I may just convert one and see if that works first though.

ebr 14959 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 There is a problem right now with the software on the new Fire TV with DD but DTS will play as 5.1 using the beta version of the Emby app. I hope to have that version released this week.
