horstepipe 357 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 hey could somebody please be so kind and tell me what's the problem with this codec video file for ac3 movies? I'm getting a playback error after the trailers.

ebr 14972 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 You can't play anything that has AC3? I think he is just saying that one video he linked to won't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 357 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) yep, this is a codec video for Emby cinema mode which should play after the trailers when the movie's audio codec is ac3. The other ones (DTS and DTS-HD MA work fine. Could this be because the mentioned file's audio codec is Dolby TrueHD? The codec intro files for DTS and DTS-HD MA both are DTS (normal, no HD). So maybe Emby can't handle HD audio formats in browser/can't transcode them? Edited September 15, 2016 by horstepipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horstepipe 357 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Enabled Cinema mode in Emby. Copied the linked ac3.mkv into the in Emby specified codec videos folder. Started a movie with ac3 audio in Firefox. Trailers work fine, but when it Comes to the codec intro I'm getting the error you can see below. http://imgur.com/a/C2cpm ps: again, I'm not able to upload images directly here, although I only use 10 of 40 MB for attachments.

Guest asrequested Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Please excuse my lack of understanding, but what is the advantage of using the 'Codec Intro', as opposed to the 'Custom Intro' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 357 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Please excuse my lack of understanding, but what is the advantage of using the 'Codec Intro', as opposed to the 'Custom Intro' ? If you have specified codec intros you get intros matching the movie's audio codec. So for Dolby you get Dolby intros, for DTS you get DTS intros which you can download here: http://www.demo-world.eu/2d-demo-trailers-hd/ Custom intro is a random video file from the specified folder.

Guest asrequested Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Ok, so I've been playing around with this. I now understand what it is...AWESOME! I love it. Any chance of a distinction being made between TrueHD and Atmos? Not all TrueHD is Atmos, but all Atmos is TrueHD. Atmos is an extension of TrueHD.

Guest asrequested Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I can confirm that Edge won't play a TrueHD file. The file is also encoded with Atmos. I can't find one with just TrueHD. You can get the file I'm using, here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a link to the file I used in my last post. I don't have firefox installed, but it plays in chrome. I just tested this dts-x file, and it won't play in Chrome or Edge Update: After a library scan, the dts-x will play in chrome, and will start to play in Edge but freezes Edited September 17, 2016 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8401 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The file is post #1 reproduces the errors OP sees. Doesn't work in Edge (just a black screen), Firefox produces the Video Error, and Chrome works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 And it would appear that LAV doesn't support dts-X, yet. But that's an issue for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
