Mike5123 1 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) It would be amazing if when audio transcoding is selected but video transcoding is deselected emby still transcoded audio on videos. If it does that already then not sure why these 5.1 audio videos aren't being converted for headphones.

Luke 37132 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi, yes we already convert audio when needed. If there are cases where it isn't happening and you think it should, then let's please go over a specific example. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing headphones and this video is playing 5.1 audio on Emby theater. https://i.imgur.com/JpNtP6E.png https://i.imgur.com/Vbu7gyI.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Well you're using the desktop app, so the server will never transcode anything based on unsupported media. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought the server transcoded audio from 5.1 format to a format good for headphones. Does it not do this?

Does it not do this? The server only gets involved if the player/app can't do what's required. In the case of Theater desktop, it can do everything the sever can do, and more. I can help you configure Theater, but I need to know what the goal is. Edited December 16, 2018 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app supports the media directly so there is no need to have the server convert the audio. If you are using a stereo speaker setup, try configuring that in the Emby Theater app and then the app will handle downsampling the audio for you. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
