No audio in browser, only when restarting the episode

Hey guys,

 

I am currently having an issue with audio playback while streaming over an internet browser. I tested it on Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, it is all the same. My problem is that I get no audio in some episodes of a show e.g. The Mandalorian season 1 episode 4-8. When I start watching these I have absolutely no audio, but when I exit the playback and again start it at a different point in the episode the audio works fine. The strange thing is that this does not happen for episodes 1-3. They just work fine. Also this issue does not occur when I download the episodes and watch them with e.g. VLC player, neither do they make any problems with the Emby app for Android or iOS. I saw a thread where the same problem was solved with disabling Intel QuickSync but as this issue also occurs on AMD machines I do not assume it is the same solution for me aswell. I rotated the server logs, watched an episode that works fine and then watched an episode that has these issues. The files are attached. Thank you for your support.

Yes, thats right.

- Start an episode -> no audio

- Exit the playback

- Resume playback -> audio works fine

Yes, thats why I attached a logfile when I watched a working and then a not wirking episode.I can hand you information about the files if you tell me what you need.

I attached the screenshot of a working and a non working file. The mediainfo tool states that there is a delay of 21ms in both files.

Both play fine in VLC.

 

Bit inconsistent really. Tried in Firefox and Chrome. Both episodes play fine from the start, but both have trouble resuming play from further in. They might resume the first time you try, but after that they don't, just get spinning circle.

 

Whenever they played they always had sound though.

 

Could send logs, though there's lots of starting and stopping of the episodes in there.

Are you able to reproduce with this file?

The delay shows different for me.

 

S01E01 -21 ms

S01E04 2 s 982 ms

 

But yes I have issues on S01E04 with no audio.

If you tell me how to, I am very happy to do so :) I just downloaded them a while ago and rendered them to x265 with Handbrake.

I think you missunderstood me  :) That is what i originally did with the files. What do you mean by "remux"? I am not really into this scene and also not a native english speaker. Thank you for your help.

Might be worth trying with mkvtoolnix. Probably better. You load in the file, highlight the audio track (in blue), set the delay (negative value), set the destination folder and click Start Multiplexing.

Seems to work, though if it doesn't that means I don't know what I'm doing (again).

It may confirm the issue but will make the file useless do to audio and video tracks being misaligned by that amount of time.

Well I tried the above mkvtoolnix on S01E04 and it plays in vlc with out of sync audio and video, though Mediainfo doesn't mention 'Delay relative to video' at all.

 

So the original has audio and video in sync even though Mediainfo says its 2.982s out and reducing that value to zero (as above) puts it out of sync.

 

I guess that means something to someone. Or maybe not.

This is issue has been around awhile for delayed audio tracks.  I would have to look up if there was a threshold ever mentioned though.
