Android transcoding mp3 to aac music

[Suspense 2]

I am a little unsure as to why this happens, the wiki page states that the emby app should direct play mp3 audio, yet it appears my mp3 music is all being transcoded from mp3 to AAC

 

Logs are attached

hi @@Suspense, this happened because the app detected the available bandwidth to the server as being very low, even lower than the bitrate of the audio file. If this is happening consistently then I would just go ahead and set a custom max streaming bitrate setting in app settings. to do this, click your user icon in the top right -> playback settings.

 

Auto is generally recommended so I would suggest testing again to see if this might have just been a one-time anomaly. Let us know if this helps. Thanks !

It appears to happen everytime i pick auto, but your suggestion of setting the quality manually did indeed fix the issue
