No DTS over SPDIF

[colinmcg71 2]

[sOLVED] Problem files muxed with outdated mkvmerge. Remux with latest v8.8.0, all play fine.

 

I have an old Technics AV receiver which only has optical digital Inputs.

 

HTPC with Windows 10 Pro.

 

Bitstreaming is set to SPDIF in Emby Theater.

 

MKVs with AC3 5.1 play just fine but MKVs with DTS audio play only in stereo.

 

Anyone else having problems with DTS over SPDIF?

Is it all DTS streams? AC3 streams fine?

[Jdiesel 1114]

Have you run the windows configuration for audio playback device? What supported formats does it show? Try changing the default format to 24bit 48khZ.

Yes, only DTS is affected, DD/AC3 plays fine.

DTS & AC3 show as supported. Both used to bitstream over SPDIF before the big Emby Theater update.

Can you edit the system.xml in "C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Emby.Theater\config" and enable debug level logging

 

 

  <EnableDebugLevelLogging>true</EnableDebugLevelLogging>

 

 

Try playing a file with DTS and upload the logfile that is generated in "C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Emby.Theater\logs"

Thank you for your help.

 

I don't have a config folder in any of the Emby Theater folders at that location. The only config folder with a system.xml file in it is in the Emby-Server folder.

 

Would that be the one to enable logging in?

You don't need to do that. You can just post the log as-is. Thanks.

Hokey dokey, here is the log when a DTS source bitstreams as stereo:

Does setting your audio renderer to WASAPI do anything?

[Luke 37094]

can you provide the media info from the web client? thanks.

This is strange. I've found a few mkvs with dts that do stream correctly and lots that don't.

 

Here's the media info from oblivion

 

And here's spider-man

 

This is the same info that appears when browsing the movies on chrome.

I downloaded the old version of mbt to see if that made any difference. It still streams as stereo.

Here's the audio info while playing:

 

And here's the mediainfo screenshot:

 

If I play the files in MPC-HC DTS is bitstreamed correctly.

maybe it can't bitstream over http. check out our wiki on library setup and ensure that the app can access the files directly:

Thanks for your help Luke. The movie files are on the same pc as the server and used to play fine. Wonder if it's anything to do with Windows 10.

This is strange. I've found a few mkvs with dts that do stream correctly and lots that don't.

 

 

Find a file that will play, and post the Mediainfo for it and also for one that does play. There maybe differences between them. I've had issues similar to this, and running them through MKVtoolnix resolved them.

I think that Windows 10 does not support dts. When I upgraded to 10 I lost dts in Windows. I don't use eht. But I think it's a Windows problem.

I have windows 10 and I can play everything, but dts, DD and AC3 aren't natively supported by windows, you need a decoder. The decoder is present in Theater. I think what may be happening here, is the splitter is having trouble with the MKV container. I've had that issue, and MKVtooolnix rectifies it. Also, if some of those files are dts-HD, Optical SPDIF won't support it. He may have had it being processed before, but the new ET doesn't allow that.

Have you tried refreshing Oblivion?

 

From your screenshot it looks like we have no media info on it and, thus, are transcoding.

@ebr You could well be on to something. I'm currently running Oblivion through mkvmerge 8.8.0. It was originally muxed with v4.1.1. I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks for your help

Remuxing via mkvmerge 8.8.0 has sorted it. Full media info and dts streaming. Looks like the ancient mkvmerge from 2010 was the problem. Thanks everyone for helping
