frk1337 3 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) For some reason emby thinks VORBIS is not supported on the Shield TV. It tries to transcode (which I have disabled) so I get a stream without sound. Logs attached. Same file plays fine over Plex and VLC (SMB share) and in the Emby app on iOS and iPadOS. ffmpeg-directstream-f6885c44-8f60-4c87-8420-7651618422b2_1.txt Version used: 4.6.0.2 beta on server and AndroidTv 1.8.42g on the ShieldTV.

That confirms it isn't supported. What happens if you enable transcoding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frk1337 3 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 It get's transcoded. Why would VORBIS not be supported? VLC and Plex play it just fine on the same machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/shield/shield-tv-pro/ Audio support: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WAVE, AMR, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, PCM, WMA, WMA-Pro, WMA-Lossless, DD+ decode, Dolby Atmos decode, Dolby TrueHD (pass-through), DTS-X (pass-through), and DTS-HD (pass-through) I think this should be a supported type that doesn't need transcoding.

That list really isn't accurate for ATV though. It's not just what the Shield supports, but also what Exoplayer supports. I have lots of WMA that direct plays in VLC, but Emby transcodes it because Exoplayer doesn't support WMA. Though I see Vorbis listed in certain containers https://exoplayer.dev/supported-formats.html I'm hoping the Emby version of Exoplayer will support WMA some day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful with "marketing specs" too There is a difference between a .ogg audio only file and audio embedded inside other containers. We're working on improvements in all these areas though (see above app referenced by Luke with updated Exo). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
