Emby transcodes aac files to opus

[tuhoaja 0]

Hi

 

I'm running version 3.0.5870.0 on FreeBSD 10.2.  I'm trying to play my aac-files, but Emby transcodes them to opus for some reason.

 

Here's the media info:

Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?

 

Thanks.

Why is it transcoded at all? Doesn't all modern browsers support aac?

 

This happens with all browsers i've tried so far : Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera.

We query the browser for supported formats. Try a different browser and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for reply!

 

Are the supported formats logged somewhere? In the console or in the server?

 

Well, there's Safari I could try, but I think one of those 4 I've tried should work.

ah it's the m4a container. if you have an actual aac file see if that works.

I drag'n'dropped the file into Opera and Chrome and they both played it fine.

So, what's the conclusion? Do I have something wrong with my setup? Or is Emby unable to play aac audio from m4a container without transcoding?

it will be reviewed for a future release, thanks.
