Gokux 1 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Hello everyone I got recently a Shield Pro which should my LibreELEC to replace. And my plan is to switch directly to the Emby App instead of using Emby for Kodi. But now I have discovered three things, that triggers a unwanted transcoding: Subtitles in the "DVDSUB" format, m2ts container and DD+ 7.1 audio tracks (is supported by the speakers). On Emby for Kodi its all fine (on the Shield). So can I do something against these issues in the Emby App? Thanks.
ebr 15501 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Hi. Sorry but DVDSub will require transcoding with our app at this time. Due to them not being a streaming media subtitle format, Google isn't very motivated in adding support for them. The issue with 7.1 DD+ is a current issue only with the Shield. It has been reported to Google as well. Thanks.
FrostByte 5207 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Is that the same as this addressed in the Exoplayer update? 2.10.8 (2019-11-19) E-AC3 JOC Handle new signaling in DASH manifests (#6636). Fix E-AC3 JOC passthrough playback failing to initialize due to incorrect channel count check.
Luke 39008 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Hard to say but that sounds promising. 1

I found answers from Google that they this only implement it is if someone delivers it... maybe I should search a converting solution for Vobsub to PGS. DD+ is not tragic, is rather rare. Only the m2ts containers surprise me. If I see it right, the Exoplayer and Shield should support it.
cybergrimes 90 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 It looks like support page might need an update, it says dvdsub is direct play https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001161573-android-tv @@cayars

FrostByte 5207 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 While you're at it, @@cayars could you also remove wma audio as direct play. ATV converts to 128 bit mp3 as Exoplayer doesn't support the format. Thanks
neik 868 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Hi. Sorry but DVDSub will require transcoding with our app at this time. Due to them not being a streaming media subtitle format, Google isn't very motivated in adding support for them. Two question: 1. Will you guys put effort into work around it or wait till Google adds support for it? 2. Why aren't PGS supported when external?
Luke 39008 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 2. Why aren't PGS supported when external? Does anyone even do this?
