Pause only pauses video

Hi guys,

hope you all had a good start into 2021!

A cousin of mine uses his FireTV Stick (2. Gen) to access my Emby server.
When he hits pause the video stops but the audio goes on and when he resumes the video starts at the position where the audio is and not where he hit pause.

I did some testing and apparently it is related to EAC3 audio (channels do not matter), all otheres (ACC, AC3, DTS) do pause and resume fine.

ATV is latest stable .54 and server it beta .8

Attached is the snippet of the log from starting playback until ending it and also a little clip to visualize the issue.

Removed the clip as it did not play, see post below

Hi.  Your clip doesn't contain any content for me but I've never heard of or seen this happen before.

How long has he waited with it paused?

Just noticed it, something during the upload is breaking the clip.

It doesn't matter how long you wait, it goes on and on. I visited him today and replicated it myself.
I tried several files and only those with EAC3 cause this. A workaround is activating "Downmix to stereo" then everything works as expected.

Would a debug log from the app help?

Not sure but couldn't hurt. Thanks.

I sent in a report.

I played Prince of Bel Air (2x23) for a couple seconds, paused and unpaused...

I tried to reproduce this on my MiBox and couldn't, so it could be something related to FireTV Stick (2.gen).

Unfortunately, the log doesn't show much.  I can see you pausing and resuming without much in between.  I even see:

I/AudioTrack( 3765): calling pause
 

So, I don't really have an explanation at this point.  I also cannot reproduce on any device.

I will leave "Downmix to stereo" just activated and recheck once the new stable release of the app is out.
Maybe something in between fixes it. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks anyway..
