mtk143089 1 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) I have an odd issue that I am looking for help with. I currently use Emby on several different devices with absolutely no issues. I current host Emby server (latest version) on my Western Digital PR2100, which I recently upgraded to OS5 from OS3 (prior to the upgrade, I had no problems). Since the upgrade, movies I have encoded with 7.1 surround will play with completely choppy sound on my 2016 Samsung Model UN70KU630D. Anything else encoded with 5.1 or stereo will play without issue. The only problems are with this one particular television. I have a newer Samsung in the different room that plays everything flawlessly. The television in question is also hooked up to a Onkyo receiver for audio output. I thought that could be a related issue, but the choppy sound still persists when I set the television audio output to the internal speakers. I have a log attached if that helps. embyserver.txt Edited February 17, 2021 by mtk143089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Can you please post the media info for a sample file and any ffmpeg log files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Sorry it took a bit for a reply. It was a long day at work and the kids are nuts. Here you go! ffmpeg-transcode-3af7bbf3-7e8e-46b1-85a7-5978ff9c5115_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Is that the correct log? Looks like an ATV log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That media info does not match this transcode log. returned playbackinfo &h264-level=41 &TranscodeReasons=VideoLevelNotSupported item protocol "Level":51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Let me see if I can try the log again. I've never actually had to post this before.....the media info is correct though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) If you were playing "Dragon Ball Z/Season 3/S03 E04 - Fighting Power, One Million.mkv", that displayed media info is wrong as the log shows different info. That log is for a 720 item, so we do need a proper corresponding log. "Height":384,"Width":720 Edited February 18, 2021 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Nope, the file info shown should be Zootopia, which is one of the problem files. Running it again now....choppy as ever. Give me a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm sorry guys. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get a ffmpeg log for this device. All of the logs that I see are for only one device, an Amazon Fire Stick in my bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If it was Direct Playing there won't be an ffmpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply recreate the problem again, then provide all log files that were written to or modified during that timeframe. Just think of it that way and you don't even have to worry about what the log file names are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Hopefully this helps. I restarted my server to make sure nothing else was active. Then I played the video in question. The problem is still persisting. These are the only logs generated in that time frame. I also turned debugging mode on. ......And I do appreciate the patience embyserver-63749195974.txt embyserver.txt hardware_detection-63749193688.txt Edited February 18, 2021 by mtk143089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Ok so that confirms it is direct playing the original file, which unfortunately means there's not a whole lot we can do about it. If you put the video file on a USB stick and plug that into the TV, then play the file that way, does it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk143089 1 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just used the USB stick as you suggested. The sound was still choppy. I suppose the problem is with the TV itself. Although it is curious that this problem started after I upgraded my WD PR2100 to OS 5. I never had this problem with OS 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but now you know it has nothing to do with OS 3 or 5. My guess is the TV is just having trouble with this high bitrate audio track. If playing on this TV is important to you then you may want to stick to 5.1 audio or keep mulitple copies of certain videos in different qualities.
