How to make Emby server transcode (E)AC3?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with Emby, the server is version 4.5.4.0, running on OMV (debian). The TV is LG 43UH668Vm running Emby theater, version 1.0.24.

It seems that my TV doesn't support (E)AC3 (had the same problem with Plex), can I make emby transcode it to AAC? Remuxing is not an option for me. Is there a setting where I can "say" that I want some codecs to be transcoded? This is making emby useless for me.

Thanks in advance.

When you play a title with an EAC3 do you get no audio, or partial audio?  Can you confirm that the file being DirectPlayed (Check Stats for Nerds).

Are you playing through a receiver or using the TV's speakers?  Can you please test if there is any audio via the TV speakers?

Can you please the webOS version from the TV settings (General > About this TV > webOS TV Version).  It should be something starting with 3

Sorry, I'm just realizing I wasn't clear enough.

I'm getting sound but it's micro-stuttering, basically every ~0.2s there's a stutter.  Video is playing smoothly. The content is being direct played. I'm using only the TV speakers, nothing else.

So now we need to confirm whether this is an issue on your TV, or whether others with the same year/model experience this as well.

If you copy this file to a USB drive and plug it into the TV, then use the internal player to play the file, what happens?

Does it play, or do you get an error?

Can you please also confirm you have the latest firmware update?  I think version 05.50.95 is the latest for this model
