Gokux 1 Posted December 22, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14862 Posted December 22, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5024 Posted December 22, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5024 Posted February 9, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
