bigverm23 2 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Emby Server 4 Linux Mint 18.3 Intel if-3570k Intel VAAPI Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd for Transcoding so I'm direct streaming a file, using the default 7.1 audio, when I switch from the play menu to the other available audio (to attempt full direct play) which is AAC, it does this weird thing where you can only hear the commentary from the director or whomever. I did this at 0743 am today - it started playback using AAC around 0743:17 today. Logs attached. embyserver-63683654882.txt hardware_detection-63683654885.txt Edited January 21, 2019 by bigverm23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodfire 2 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Sounds to me like the source audio is a commentary. Have you looked at the native file and checked to see what audio plays from the other audio sources? I usually toubleshoot this type of issue with VLC, and changing audio source in there. I have several files where AAC is commentary and TRUE/DTS/ETC are the actual video audio... Looking forward to your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigverm23 2 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 That's what I thought as well but its every file played through Emby. If I play that same track in Plex it's not commentary. Was hoping it was a setting somewhere that I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodfire 2 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hmmm, interesting... I wonder... have you checked to see if it's a permissions issue? It's less likely, but it's possible... I would do ls -l on your cache, metadata, transcoding, and your media files... see if anytihng is amiss. If it occurred after upgrade to 4.0 from 3.x, then I had an issue where emby user lost it's GID value that I assigned, and as such didn't have permissions for all the files. Wonder if you're having a similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37315 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Can you try it in a local player such as VLC? It probably is a commentary track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
