BuddahKat 17 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'm not able to switch audio tracks when watching Live TV in Emby Theater. It seems to just default to whatever is the top of the list of tracks, i.e. if Spanish is first then it will play Spanish. Attempting to change it to English does nothing. This is a problem for me because some channels put their 'visual description' on the Spanish track, so whenever I watch certain channels I get this annoying voice over describing whats going on in the scene. It seems to be limited to Emby Theater because I can change the audio tracks just fine in the web player. I've also tried toggling the 'Play default audio track regardless of language' setting in the playback options to no avail. Please advise, thanks.

Spaceboy 2493 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It’s been this way, pretty much forever. Sometimes it gets fixed for a week or two after someone points it out but it gets broken soon enough too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 i see... is it even worth attaching the logs then?? seems like it's already a fairly well-documented issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddahKat 17 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Any chance we could get an update on this issue, i.e. is it planned to be fixed? It effectively makes a large number of my channels unwatchable as for whatever reason the Spanish audio track is listed first on many of them so the audio is always either in Spanish or has the 'video descriptions'. It's quite frustrating and definitely doesn't pass the 'wife test'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Luke, all we'd need is to be able to use # to cycle through the audio. Then we can map it to a remote button. Most of the time there's only 2, so that would be very easy. Ah jeez! ctrl+shift+a works, lol. It works for recordings, but not for live tv.

Heuer 76 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yes, live TV is a real pain as some BBC programmes have the narration (for the blind) track as the first in the list and no way of switching it off. Track selection works once it becomes a completed recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
