echoxxzz 22 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) This just started since the last update because I have successfully played music on my iPhone and iPad but now all Emby does is play the first few seconds of a song than skips to the next song. Tested my Android phone and tablet and they work just fine so this has to be IOS issue and not related to the Emby Server config.

echoxxzz 22 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Update: All my music is in FLAC format so I converted a few songs to MP3 and those songs play fine on Emby IOS. Now I believe this has to be a transcoding problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Similar behaviour here with a pure flac library, although tracks also take a very long time to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxxzz 22 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Rolled back the server to 3.2.36.0 and it plays ok. Seems to be broken in 3.2.40.0 and latest 3.2.50.0. Only effects music library that needs transcoding. Tried all static ffmpeg builds since 3.2 and still broken so I don't think it's an ffmpeg bug.

Luke 37128 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Are you sure it's transcoding the audio? Unless you customized music quality it should try to direct play flac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxxzz 22 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Yes it's definitely transcoding the FLAC files to AAC audio. Probably because Apple does not support FLAC format. The only viable solution is to roll back to version 3.2.36.0 of the server but I don't want to do that as the latest version fixes the incorrect bitrate problem I reported.

Luke 37128 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 can you provide ffmpeg logs from both servers? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxxzz 22 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I played back the same album on my iPad on version 3.2.36.0 and 3.2.50.0 and have uploaded the server and transcoding logs from both versions. logs.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37128 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It's resolved for the next release of the server, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
