So it looks like the audio track is out of spec at least for AC3 stereo files using that program. What you can try now is converting the file again but this time choose AAC or MP3 to use. Maybe that won't have the issue. Obviously the best solution is not to produce files that have out of spec tracks. Meanwhile @ebr, can try and duplicate results to see if there is anything internal in the app that can be done but of course will depend on what the issue is. Converting a file using AAC instead of AC3 does fix the stuttering issue on the shield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might. So at least you have a work around with your chosen conversion program. It's not unusual to find a specific codec that some program gets incorrect when not relying on ffmpeg. A lot of conversion programs are wrappers around ffmpeg which makes is more of a known entity (good or bad). The scripts I use all revolve around using ffmpeg and Nvidia GPU for conversions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Yea, I'll definitely use AAC for future conversions. Is there any way to fix the shield app for current files? Or is the best bet to just repackage any bad file I come across? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears from first glance that the audio is out of spec but correctable with a conversion either with ffmpeg or the Shield TV itself. So it can't be to far out of wack. Unfortunately the android play "Exo" is finicky and doesn't do any type of fixing. But as ebr mentioned earlier we often add our own code when possible and it makes sense. One of the devs needs to take a look to see exactly what the issue is and then determine if it can be handled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edrock200 38 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Not sure if this helps, but I ran into something similar and one of these 3 things usually helped: 1. If set to 4k@60 for display on shield, try 4k@59 or vice versa 2. If using subtitles, try disabling extract subtitles on the fly or transcode throttling on emby server side (although this seems to have been resolved with an emby server update a while back) 3. My tv (a Sony android tv), not the shield settings, had an audio/video sync option that was enabled that seemed to be too agressive, disabling this helped in some cases as well.

Bigmack3000 84 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I'm assuming this might be too random of a bug to fix across all systems. However, the remux through mkvtoolnix works perfectly. So instead, is there a way, or a program, to search my library for files with that codec? So I know which ones need to be remuxed? Thanks.

Carlo 4330 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi, have you tried looking at the library filters you can setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 What filter option would I be searching for? It's the part that says "WonderShare Matroska Muxer" that's causing the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I was referring to the filtering at the library level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Honestly, I wouldn't know how to filer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 @Bigmack3000 This is an example of how you could use filtering. From my Movie Library: Click the Filter button to the right on the bottom row. You will then get a page with many options you can use to search with. This is just a one part of that screen. Here you can see I changed the Audio Codec to "ac3". Once I click the left arrow top left to remove this screen and go back to where I was this new filter will be applied and I'll only see movies that contain an ac3 audio track. Hope that helps, Carlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks. I'll definitely see if this can narrow some of the movies down for me. 2 roadbumps I can see though, it's only ac3 tracks through wondershare that stutter. Any ac3 tracks from the disc, or handbrake, etc play fine. Also, I used the wondershare program (iskysoft) mostly to compress extras and trailers.

Carlo 4330 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I would check one of the files you know you used iskysoft on. Look at the codec section and see if it marked itself. If so install mediainfo CLI and verify if it shows up here as well. If it does this could be used to run against every media files you have grepping the output looking for the tell tail signature it leaves. This would not be hard to do. It also possible this information is in the Emby Database as well. So the first thing I would do after finding something you used the software on would be to look up the movie/show in Emby looking at it's meta-data. If you find it here then we can get this info quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Ok, so taking this step by step. I found a file i used iskysoft on. JCVD_Trailer. The file is small, so I've attached it to the post. I've already had medioinfo downloaded. Here is what comes up for the file: What would I do next with this info? If it helps, I store everything on a synology nas. And I access it through a mac. JCVD_Trailer.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When multiple items of different types are shown (like a video stream and an audio stream), the displayed fields are from the first item (video in your example). Select the audio stream first (then you can add more wiih with shift or ctrl) or just select the audio stream: ..then you'll see the audio specific fields.
