imthedoctor 7 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) The update today fixed head phone sync issues, but yeah the Bluetooth sync issue is back from what I can tell. Which i'd prefer over the other way around Edited December 31, 2018 by imthedoctor Link to post Share on other sites
troyhough 28 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I too confirm that with 3.0.28, the Bluetooth delay is back and as bad as ever. The phone speaker delay, however, appears to be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites
dapharsyde 2 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Using the latest version 3.0.34, there is still audio delay over bluetooth. Is this still being looked at? Link to post Share on other sites

Yes @@Luke has said it's being worked on but it's been an ongoing issue (for me), believe it not, for 3 months. Link to post Share on other sites
akawoz 3 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Just to add some feedback I also have ~ 1 sec audio delay when watching via bluetooth headphones - this is well in excess of any normal delay introduced by the bluetooth stack when using youtube, plex etc. Phone: Oneplus 5t with Android Pie (9.0.3) Headphones: Bose QC35 Emby Android v 3.0.34 Edited February 9, 2019 by akawoz 1 Link to post Share on other sites
blunderdome 2 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Still seeing this issue on 3.0.35. Currently the only thing keeping me from migrating fully from Plex and going all in on a lifetime sub. Any word on the status of the issue or an ETA on a fix? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

twitchstick 3 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I have a delay as well using my bluetooth headphones. Using an external player solves to problem. I hope this gets fixed soon. This is the only problem I'm having with Emby and its a significant one. Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

VLC has a built-in option to adjust the bluetooth delay. Using an external, in my opinion, sucks and is a band-aid solution. It doesn't keep track where you leave off on a movie so you can go back later to finish. It doesn't mark a movie as watched. Just to name a couple. Have you tried the Emby web version?

It doesn't keep track where you leave off on a movie so you can go back later to finish. It doesn't mark a movie as watched. At the moment the benefits of just using something like VLC outweigh the negatives. For my use case, it's fine. I can stick an entire season on my phone - watch them one by one and then manually mark the season as watched in Emby. I'm not switching devices for these shows. As for movies, VLC will keep track of position within a video on that device, and I won't be switching devices so it's all good. (I wouldn't normally watch movies on a phone anyway). The last time I was using Android Emby the thing was taking 30 seconds to even startup (when not on my network), maybe that's improved since - but that along with the bluetooth delay means it's just not worth bothering with.

Jdiesel 1017 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Every month that passes more users move to Android phones with no physical headphone jack. The move to Bluetooth headphones is being forced on mobile users and this is no longer a niche bug affecting a small number of Emby users. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wep app might be a nice workaround it doesn't solve the issue with the App though and that needs to be fixed. Anyways, thanks for the hint but it won't help me much for my usecase as I am currently syncing the stuff to my mobile and playing it back during commute and while offline. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
