prism123 0 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have some media files that are encoded in 720p and 6 channel audio, but when I tried to stream them to my XBOX One they would freeze every 20 seconds making them unwatchable. From reading elsewhere in the forum it appears that it could be do to the XBOX one not fully supporting that type of audio. My TV doesn't even have surround sound, so is there anyway to force the MB3 server to downsample the audio to stereo while streaming it? I couldn't fine an option like that anywhere in the settings.

moviefan 184 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I am not sure if this is possible but just FYI I am able to use DLNA to play to my XBOX one with 5.1 and 7.1 DTS just fine. I have had the xbox setup to just be stereo as well as bitstream DTS output. Both work fine. The only time I get stuttering is when I go over 10Mb/s and that is just because I am using WifI and my XB1 is not very close to the AP so this is about the best consistent speed I can get without dropouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prism123 0 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hmm I guess it could have been a networking issue. When I try to transfer files from one computer to another using a homegroup for example the speed is pretty bad, signifigantly slower than downloading from the internet, which definitely shouldn't be the case. The same file streamed fine to my phone though, but that was probably transcoding to a lower qulaity than to the xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Moviefan, did you change your DLNA profile for the xbox one at all? When I send it a movie that has DTS-HD I get no audio at all. BTW, the stutter at high bit rates may not be your wi-fi. I get stuttering with files over 10Mbit/sec and the machine is wired with gigabit ethernet. Seems to just be a video processing issue in the system. Probably software related as I don't have the issue with blu-ray discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 184 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I haven't changed any of the settings at all for DLNA. I will give it a shot with DTS-HD with bistreaming enabled and see if that works. I know it worked before I changed any of the audio settings on xbox. What is your audio setting? I suppose I could also run a really long cable for testing wired and see if I can do a higher bitrate. Will report back when I've had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moviefan 184 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) All of the tests above were successful. So I was able to get it to play over 27Mb/s 1080p video with DTS-HD MA 6 channel audio. Only in the very last case was some stuttering observed, but it was only two brief hiccups in the first 30 seconds. After that it played the next 6 minutes without any issues before I stopped the test. If anyone wants me to test any additional configurations just let me know. I also tested some files that I know have 7.1 channel audio (even though MediaBrowser says its 5.1) and those played fine as well.

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I can now match Moviefan's results. My sound issue was occurring because I gave my xbox a non-default name so the server didn't recognize it as an xbox one. Once I built a custom profile that included the correct device name everything worked just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Are either of you guys using the latest dev build (Version 3.0.5230.38609)? I'm interested to know if you have the Xbox One working with the latest changes. Edited April 28, 2014 by swhitmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 After upgrading my server the play to works fine. Didn't leave it running long enough to see if anything has changed with stuttering at high bit rates. Honestly not sure if that's the source of the stuttering anyway.

moviefan 184 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Okay here is what I did..... - Turned off all MediaBrowser clients. - Restarted Server - Enabled DLNA Logging - Deleted Logs - Started Xbox - Clicked XBOX as my Play To device throw Chrome Browser web client - Selected Pompeii and clicked Play - Movie played fine with some minor stuttering (I am sure due to WiFi issues I still have between AP and XBO) I saw two logs produced. Server and Transcode. I have attached both. Hope this helps. Edited May 5, 2014 by moviefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrackZ 16 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am not sure if this is possible but just FYI I am able to use DLNA to play to my XBOX one with 5.1 and 7.1 DTS just fine.

It's sounds like you think you are getting real dts audio from the Xbox, so I wanted to note that you are not. The transcoding log shows that the original dts audio is being turned into low bitrate 2 channel AAC. I've been playing with xbox one a lot lately and trying to adjust the profile to try and get better codec quality from mb3 through the xbox. Also note that setting the xbox to dts bitstream does not make it support dts hd audio or even necessarily regular dts audio. That's just the output format. Internally the xbox decodes everything to PCM to mix in system sounds. Then it either outputs that PCM directly or reencoded it again to dolby digital or dts depending on your audio settings on the box. So what you are actually hearing in that file is the original dts audio converted to AAC by mb3 then decoded to PCM inside the xbox then lossy encoded again to dts for output to your receiver.
