JrD 17 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 So since the update on the AirPods Pro’s recieving Spatial Audio, which supports Dobly Atmos, I decided to see if it worked with the Dolby atmos movies that I have in my Emby server, but found that it didnt work. Like I know that it works on my device as it works with the Disney+ app, but not on Emby? Will there be support for this in the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuelqwe 313 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I’ve noticed the same, as it does not trigger the feature on my AirPods Pro either. I assume this has to do with the fact that the iOS Emby app uses MPV as the video player and not Apple’s native media playback framework, which means it probably does not work with the AirPods Pro’s spatial audio feature by default. For it to work, the feature likely needs to be manually implemented by either the Emby team or within the MPV player library.

And I have content that is in Dobly Atmos on my Emby server. But you just don’t hear it as it’s not in full 3D surround sound, it is still plays back as just stereo sound besides the content and headphones supporting the format. So I’m guessing it’s the app itself as other content such as the the Mandalorian for example on Disney+ does Edited October 6, 2020 by JrD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, How's it going with the Spatial Audio Function? I'm a new Emby Premiere user from Plex. I think the easiest way to achieve this is to add an option to use "the native player" just like the one in the TV OS client, and another option "Convert all audio format to EAC3". Of course for the native player, the "MP4 container" my be required, which isn't difficult for Emby to convert. For all these conditions satisfied, Spatial Audio will work perfectly. Hope you could consider my suggestion to add these settings, as this is the only thing Emby is weaker than Plex for Apple users. I'm using Plex for Spatial Audio only. I think owing to the "native player", JellyFin supports spatial audio too. Thanks! Edited July 5, 2021 by tonyliangli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the emby team is just ignoring this thread or stringing it along with no answer. Spatial audio is the future of Apple so if emby is not getting on board then it will fail on Apple devices. Plain and simple. It's been 2 years guys. I have been with emby for years but without this support I do not know if I will continue to use emby.

pwhodges 1529 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think the latest iOS beta uses the native player under some circumstances (but I haven't investigated yet). Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul That's correct. We'll be using the native player now whenever it supports the content you're playing. So that will help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svaughan17 0 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Years later is there an update on this? You said looking into it but saw not updates on any forums. Spatial Audio not working because STEREO shows. I've posted to other posts as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hi, Emby integrates mpv for playback and it looks like it finally has some movement on this: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/11955 So hopefully in the near future we'll get that via an updated version.
