GreyBeard 22 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Any ideas when/if gapless playback may be coming to emby and specifically the roku? It sucks having to keep two copies of certain albums. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for example. Has tracks if you just want to hear a single song, but trying to listen to the whole thing without gapless playback is inhuman.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi. The Roku may be a bit of a tough cookie on this particular issue but we will look into it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyBeard 22 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yea, I know the Roku presents it's own programming challenges. It's one of the reasons I put up with one annoyance that I think is due to their limitations. when scrolling through the movies and it gets to the right side of the screen, it makes sense to just go down o the first item on the next row, but no, you have to press down, the left until you get to it. But it's still better than plex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Since we can't use a custom player on Roku, the best we can do is limit the amount of code running in between songs, and that will be as gapless as we can possibly do. Maybe it will be truly gapless, but also maybe it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1917 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) To get gapless you feed a queue to ffmpeg and have it make the stream. If you change position via previous/next you have to remake this queue and feed it to ffmpeg. In this way as you move manually prev/next through the queue you have to readjust what is sent to ffmpeg. That is the only way to truly get gapless playback on Roku. If this is even possible. Then all apps could have it doing absolutely nothing. You just check a box [x] gapless playback and the app knows to send the server whatever it needs to get ffmpeg to do its thing.
