casminkey 15 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hello, Anyone else having a problem playing media that was recorded and converted on the fly with Emby? On all my shows that I record, the audio and video is way out of sync by about 3-4 seconds. Only occurs on Emby for WMC. The web client, Emby Theater, Emby on a ASUS Nexus TV or playing the file directly all play fine. I'm on Emby for WMC Version 3.0.299.0 on Windows 7, Emby Server Version 3.0.5882.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casminkey 15 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks, but to me seems to be more isolated to Emby for WMC and not so much on the server side, since Emby for WMC is the only one out of sync. All other applications play just fine.... But I have no problems waiting for the next server release if you think it'll help. As always, thanks for the help!

ebr 14910 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Then it would be related to your codec setup on that machine more than likely. Or it could be because EMC cannot access the file directly so it is transcoding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Is there a recommended codec setup or a guide to use? I'm guessing Emby for WMC uses WMP to play the video's and I also get the same out-of-sync problem when playing directly in WMP. I had the K-Lite codec pack installed so I uninstalled that, and uninstalled/reinstalled my video and audio drivers. Same problem, and without the codec pack, I can't play most of my other video's. Is there an internal Emby player that I can use instead of resorting to WMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I would uninstall all codec packs and just install LAV. It should be all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 I did uninstall all codec's, I had already mentioned that. So I did install LAV and didn't change anything. I got a 2nd PC without any codec's previously installed and it is also out of sync. Am I the only one with this problem? Is anyone else able to play MP4 Emby recordings in EMC in sync?

ebr 14910 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Are you sure they are direct playing in EMC? Maybe the real difference is direct play vs. transcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Can i force them to direct play or transcode? Where can I make that change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 So they are playing direct. Can i make them transcode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Not effectively for WMC. Instead, compare that to how they are playing back in the other apps where you said they didn't have the sync issue. I still think this is an issue created when they were encoded as reported in that other thread. Which means it should get fixed by a server update.

casminkey 15 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sounds good. I'll check it out after the next update. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Fyi, some audio sync fixes have been applied to the recording conversion process but it won't affect existing recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi, so i've updated the server to Version 3.0.5911.0 and installed a fresh copy of Windows with ONLY the LAV filters and EMC version 3.0.302.0. New recordings are still out of sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 are they out of sync with other video players? like vlc for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 They play fine in VLC, out of sync in Windows Media Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 They play fine in VLC, out of sync in Windows Media Player. Then it sounds like an issue with the codecs being used by WMP/WMC. Check for any audio sync settings in LAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casminkey 15 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Any recommendations on what settings to change? I don't know what most of the settings mean but the only one I see that would be relevant is to delay the audio, except the audio is 1 or 2 seconds behind the video. Also, I'm guessing that would change it for all files where only the files recorded from Emby are the ones that are out of sync. Has this been tested or am I the only one having this problem? I feel like this would be easily replicated. I've tried 3 different computers, one of them is a completely clean Windows 7 install with only Emby for Media Center and LAV.

casminkey 15 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 I know this is an old topic but looks to be finally resolved since adding the option to preserve original audio when converting recordings. Since checking that, audio on new recordings have been in sync with video in EMC. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
