firetv FireTV App: acc -> acc transcoding?

[asnguy01 0]

TITLE CORRECTION: aac -> aac transcoding

 

I have a FireTV 2nd gen, version 1.2.31a. Running Emby server version 3.0.7300.0 on Linux Ubuntu 15.04 server  I've transcoding all my media from mkv -> mp4 with aac with the intention of not requiring transcoding. However, when I play it on the FireTV app it looks like it's transcoding aac -> aac (and mp4 -> mkv). On the "Dashboard" it says Direct Streaming. The FireTV 2nd gen should handle mp4/aac files. When I play it on my Chrome browser it's Direct Playing.

 

Here's the server log:

Any comment by developers?

 

I'm still having transcoding running the Beta server. However, now it's transcoding from MP4/aac to MKV/ac3. These MP4/aac files all direct play with Plex on the FireTV. Is there anything to fix this issue???
