JDizzy 21 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I've noticed that most music will not play anymore on any of my Amazon Fire devices. I am running server on MyCloud PR4100. . One observation is that high bitrate (3000kbps) will play but lower (800kbps) will not. It loads song title, etc, but the time shows 5:00 regardless of length, and it does not play (although it does have visual on now playing icon with bars showing sound, but I assume this is only a visual and not actual feedback from music). Another observation is, same as report of center audio not working in video, that this occurred right after an update from Amazon to machines. Lastly, Emby will stream all songs to all other devices I have (Shield, iPhone, Kodi... etc) I know logs are needed and I just have to figure how to access them on Firestick.4K. Just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this. Thanks Edited May 25, 2019 by JDizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDizzy 21 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 As an added comment.... Using Emby for Kodi, Emby streams flac files to Kodi on Fire device just fine and plays them. It is only with the actual Emby player on Fire device that it is not working. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelanranger 11 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I'm currently running 1.7.23a and have flac that does not work! It actually seems to be related to the backend, not the app because it will not play in a web browser either, but will play fine on a the device itself. I have LOTS of files that are like this. Any input? My dumb ass. It was the folder not updated. Sorry! Edited June 30, 2019 by thelanranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
