In-Progress Emby Server - Gapless Playback

[jinithin 64]

As I'm transitioning from Volumio and Plex to Emby to centralize my usage to one app, the one thing I'm missing the most is gapless playback.

This is particulary annoying when listening to albums like "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd.

I'm experiencing a buffer of about 1 second in between songs, which really ruins the immersion.

 

Would be awesome if this would be implemented in both the Chromecast, and web player.

Off topic question, what method are you using to get your audiobooks into Emby?  I have not found a good solution yet.

 

TIA

Can we please get this in emby, this is an essential part of music playback and I don't understand why it's only planned for the future?

And it will come to more apps over time. Thanks !

Thanks for the gapeless playback!

 

Just tested it on the Android app. Essential feature.

 

Congrats for the developers.
