Luke 37164 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Luke Just updated to 121, but it's still remuxing AC3 to AAC. I just changed the audio output on the Xbox One to Stereo and now the TV only sees PCM, so I think that confirms that the server is remuxing AC3 to AAC and then the Xbox is remuxing AAC back to AC3. This is not good having two inline remuxes being performed. You need to look at your xbox audio settings. We simply query the system and it tells us if ac3 is supported or not.

FrostByte 5055 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have my XB set to bitstream DD and it used to try and Direct Play and would crash the app within 15 seconds. Now the server always remuxes AC3 to AAC since version 116 and then the XB1 converts it back to DD when playing. Before the Creators Update the app would always Direct Play AC3 correctly. I assumed this was your work around because the server shouldn't have to convert AC3 at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6780 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) You need to look at your xbox audio settings. We simply query the system and it tells us if ac3 is supported or not. Well then your querying is broken! Everything I play on my Xbox, videos or games, all outputs DD to my TV. I suggest you review your code, as it's obviously wrong. Also, why does Ember Direct Play everything without the need to remux . Edited May 16, 2017 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3749 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Guys! Under transcode settings in the server for the Xbox device there are tabs that allow the user to choose which codecs could be used for the device. Is it possible that if a user fiddled with these settings that it could be causing issues with remuxing, transcoding etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I haven't changed anything there, it's just the defaults. Do we need to change something on the server now? On the XB1 itself you really only have two options, either bitstream AC3, or bitstream DTS. I know before 116 the app was Direct Playing DD which is what my XB1 is set to bitstream and anything that Direct Played since the Creators Update would cause the XB1 to crash within 15 seconds as Luke pointed out. Now since v116 the app remuxes AC3 to AAC and the XB1 converts it back to AC3 before playing. However, it works now I thought maybe this was the temporary work around Luke referred to until he got with MS, but now I'm not sure that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3749 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I can't wait to test it again tonight then. I was experiencing freezing but Luke mentioned it could a network issue, so it sounds like good news all around. I'll limit the bitstream and see if I can get it working too.

The only freezing (sort of) I've seen so far is when the app first starts and there is a long period with just a spinning circle. I can usually get out of it by clicking the 'B' button though and things seem to be fine after that Edit: you can load the new XB1 console update that came out today then too http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/system-update-operating-system Edited May 16, 2017 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dankostanko71 0 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just installed new Xbox One Update 10.0.15063.3054 (rs2_release_xbox_1705.170512-1759) and Emby Update and all of my video playback worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your hard work guys! I can put the Xbox 360 back in my daughter's room now. I love the interface so much better on Xbox One than Xbox 360, it's so beautiful. Thanks again! It's been a few months since this worked properly I have a lot of tv and movies to binge! Bazinga! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3749 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I put on "Lego - Brickumentary" it has ac3 audio and is encoded with X.264 video... Ac3 audio anyway. It froze on the opening credits. But my son was watching Smurfs and it was playing last night before bedtime. I turned off the movie and he had played it in the theater... Suprise! At least I was... I'll post codecs if it helps.

chef 3749 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Chef, do you know if it was Direct Streaming or Playing? AC3 no longer DPs for me since v116. Thanks Well, smurfs was definitely direct playing because there wasn't a heavy load on the processor (I was in the server room coding and I have some CPU LEDs that tell me when users are causing heavy CPU loads on the server), Brickumentary was transcoding for sure. I limited the mb/s to the lowest 1080p stream in the theatres config but unfortunately it still froze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Direct Streaming shouldn't cause any extra workload (after the initial remux) would it? AC3 just remuxes (to AAC) now and streams for several of us now when it used to direct play as DD. Do you have remux logs when playing AC3 content you can check for? Thanks It's really a big coincidence that a lot of us noticed it started with v116, so something must have changed with that version I would think Edited May 18, 2017 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6780 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 @@chef As @@FrostByte says, since Luke put out his "workaround" (v116+) to fix the crashing out back to the home screen, AC3 is being remuxed to AAC. This in turn is then causing the XB1 to remux AAC to AC3 on the fly, as my Xbox One is set to output DD. Nothing Direct Plays any longer, so we just need you to confirm please. Check for an ffmpeg-remux log and what the status is in the dashboard during playback. Perhaps the SMURFS movie was already AAC? Do you have @@7illusions EMBER app installed on your Xbox, as that still does Direct Play without the need to remux? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3749 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Anything other then acc audio freezes about 10 to 20 seconds into playback. Most of my videos are AC3 because I watch most of my content on Xbox one. I have some DTS and DTS-HD stuff but my network never really handled it well so I tried to encode or aquire AC3 whenever possible. I can post logs.
