Bluetooth Audio

[jasonwilliams 36]

Hello,

I'm using Android on a Galaxy Tab S8 with Emby from the playstore and I have a problem when using Bluetooth audio.  When trying to playback AC3 5.1 audio, I get the error "No Compatible Streams".  The same media will play if I use the builtin speakers on the Galaxy Tab.

It plays successfully on Bluetooth if I use the Web Client running in Chrome on the device.  Is Bluetooth audio supported using the app?

Thanks,

 

Jason

Just to help understanding this.

Do you already have BT audio working before you start Emby?

Hi cayars,

Yes, BT is working generally on the device.  I can playback with BT through the Emby Web Client.  It is just the Playstore client for Emby that doesn't playback with BT audio.

 can you please supply an android app log?

Thanks.

Hi Luke,

Thank you.  I have attached the log.

Hmm. Would you mind providing an android system bug report:

https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/bug-report#bugreportdevice

So basically you'll need to first enable developer options on your device, then open up the Emby app, recreate the problem, and then follow the steps in the link above to obtain a bug report. Then please attach that here. Thanks !

No worries.  I've attached a report.  I hope I did it correctly.

@Luke Is this essentially the same issue that we are sorting out for my Live TV issues?

It might be but we don't know that for sure yet.

Can you try this version:

Thanks.

I have played TV for ~5 hours through Bluetooth and all seems to be working well. I will continue to test but am cautiously optimistic that the issue is resolved. Will keep you posted if something changes.

[jasonwilliams 36]

It's also working for me.  I'm still testing different formats, but so far it has worked perfectly.

I'll post again tomorrow after further testing to confirm.

Thanks!!

Great feedback guys!

[Luke 40111]

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi All,

I spent the entire day endurance testing various types of media (FLAC, H.264, Live TV, MP3, BluRay) and the audio never fails.  At this point I'd say the solution works!

I'm a heavy user of the Android client, so I will update this thread if anything changes, but for now the solution is delivered.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, version 3.1.92 has been pushed to the store to resolve this. Thanks.

[revengineer 137]

I have continued to test with and without Bluetooth and this version really seems solid again.
