AAC 5.1 crashes roku

[Lee 204]

I've a few h264 videos that have AAC 5.1. If I try play them the roku tries to stream, then crashes..

I'm assuming the roku doesn't support 5.1 AAC? If not should the server not transcode the audio?

Oddly enough I am viewing an mkv, 5.1 ACC file now on my ULTRA.

I'm using a Synology DS216play.

 

I've never had issues with ACC 5.1

What model roku is this? Only rokuTV and roku ultra support AAC 5.1, and in support I mean can process this to AAC 2.0 on the device.

 

The new app should be using same capabilities logic as the blue neon app, see below...

 

    ' support AAC if found
    AACchannels = audio.lookup("AAC")
    if AACchannels <> invalid
        AACchannels = left(AACchannels,1)
        profiles.push({
            Type: "VideoAudio"
            Codec: "aac"
            Conditions: [{
                Condition: "Equals"
                Property: "IsSecondaryAudio"
                Value: "false"
                IsRequired: false
            },
            {
                Condition: "LessThanEqual"
                Property: "AudioChannels"
                Value: AACchannels
                IsRequired: true
            }]
        })
    end if

 

With the code above, the device reports the number of AAC channels it supports. If the above code is already used, which it might be. This could be some sort of firmware issue. Can you paste the mediainfo for that item as shown on the web client of your server. Thanks.

I misunderstood.

 

I didn't realize the media was being run through Roku device direct via usb port.

It may or may not be the audio at all.  Could be something else about this video.

 

Can you please post:

• Server log
• ffmpeg log (if any)
• media info for this item from the web app

 

Thanks.

Definitely AAC 5.1 just tried a different video that crashed the roku (3) when I checked media info said AAC 5.1 is it possible its trying to bit stream to the amp or something?

I still think that could be coincidental.  The system is transcoding the audio and what is actually being fed to your Roku is DD 5.1.

 

Try turning off hardware acceleration.

Same place you turned it on

Ok, maybe not now but you probably did at the time that Ebr reviewed the logs you sent him.
