vesati 1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 After updating to Emby Theater 2.2.2, I'm noticing that live TV playback through the application has distorted or compressed audio. My live TV is coming through my HD Homerun Prime, using Emby Server Version 3.0.5930.0. Emby Theater is configured to connect through localhost, and I do NOT have a bandwidth limit set on streaming. This seems to be limited to Emby Theater, as the live TV playback is as expected when playing back through a browser window, with no distorted audio. I've already tried switching through the various audio/video filter settings in Emby Theater, without any luck. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Ryokurin 0 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Same here, except this is the first version I've tried. Is there a link to a older version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 what is your audio setup? it sounds ok to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokurin 0 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 5.1 Audio, HDMI bitstreaming, no DRC, Enabled and disabled Expand Mono, or Expand 6.1 to 7.1 and toggled WASAPI from default to my receiver. It sounds like it takes the audio and changes it into a mono downsampled stream. Playing through Chrome has correct sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 if you're bitstreaming though it's just being passed through to your receiver with no decoding. The one thing to check would be to verify that the server isn't transcoding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokurin 0 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Transcoding in Theater and in Chrome and Firefox clients. Per the logs Theater is creating a 48000Hz AAC 5.1 128k audio stream. Note that the sound is not 5.1 like it reports, it's mono. Firefox is a 48000Hz Vorbis 5.1 320k audio stream. Chrome is a 4800Hz mp3 320k audio stream. The server which is also the player is a i5 with a 960GT A second system with a i7 and a R280 does the same. It is not hooked up to a receiver so it was not set for bitstreaming, and it also had the low audio quality. I do recall using one of the beta's that was out a few months ago (whichever one had the 30 second limit) and the audio sounded fine then, although I never did check to see if it was transcoding it.

Luke 37095 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Ok, thanks. then i'lll switch the audio transcoding to match the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokurin 0 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Tried the legacy version, it's a 320K AAC file and is not muffled. Edited April 21, 2016 by Ryokurin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokurin 0 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm quite sure now it's a profile problem. Changed DLNA transcoding to AC3 and now it's converting it to mp3. Better, but there's no reason why a fullblown modern computer should have to transcode audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Changing Dlna values won't have any effect on Emby Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
