EduardoSantos 40 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Err... I am sorry to report something that... Well I don't know if it is a bug but definitely impacts this new feature and compromises the effort made to make it happen. When playing locally (LAN) all is well and the gapeless playback feature seems to work just as conceived. When trying to remote play (WAN) an album, though, the feature will not work: it seems that the network latency or even traffic produces an audible gap just because server is trying to start casting the new track. I really don't have info of how this feature was implemented but I would very humbly suggest the server should treat all music casting trough a transcoding process so it would create a unique stream joining tracks on the list.

Luke 37064 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Not everyone will like transcoding if it's not needed. Yes, network delays can prevent it from being truly gapless. We might be able to play with having the player preload the next track while one is playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanzoX7 8 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Bump here as well... I'm in the process of migrating my song collection to Emby. A simple crossfader function for the AndroidTV app would do wonders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanzoX7 8 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 cross-fade and gapless are not the same thing at all... Of course... This post already mentioned cross-fade, so I thought bumping made more sense than creating a new thread. Any news on Android TV etc gapless (crossfade) music playback?

Personally, I don't see this coming anytime soon. It has been an open issue for years now..., although iTunes does support it for years now...... So it seems to me more like a management decision to "not support" it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Apple TV gapless playback is supported (as long as it's direct playing) but Android TV does not support that (At least there is something in which the application for Apple TV beats the Android TV ) Is there any possibility to implement this on Android TV or is it a limitation of Exoplayer? Exoplayer seems to support gapless playback using the ConcatenatingMediaSource class: https://exoplayer.dev/doc/reference/com/google/android/exoplayer2/source/ConcatenatingMediaSource.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3adc0ps 0 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 So...this thread is 2.5 years old and you guys STILL haven't sorted this out?? Unfortunately, this is a deal breaker for me. Uninstalling. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this is a deal breaker for me. Uninstalling. Thanks anyway. Since android mobile beta supports gapless playback, I do not think it will take so long before it is incorporated into the Android TV application.

vdatanet 1549 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I hope they incorporate it soon because listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with gaps is sacrilege. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drosophila 1 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Support for gapless playback via Chromcast is really needed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1549 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 For those who are interested in gapless playback, I share my solution. This solution requires: 1. Have Emby's DLNA server active 2. Have the mconnect application (upnp player application) installed on the mobile phone 3. Have an upnp player device, I use iFi Zen Stream, but any upnp device should work In the mconnect application, the Emby DLNA Server is selected as source and the upnp player device is selected as "Play to" device. This way we get gapless bit-to-bit playback. If we send the audio directly to the upnp device from any Emby application (for example iOS) there are huge gaps between tracks.

Chromecast has not been designed with gapless playback in mind, all applications that cast to chromecast, produce gaps between tracks, except Roon, they have designed a system that sends tracks continuously as a single track without gaps, but as far as I know, it is quite complex.
