SteveFintel 30 Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 I have quite a few audio files (ripped from DVD-A) in FLAC containers that I would like to play in Emby Theater. Emby will play them but only the first two channels (left and right) ignoring center, SR, SR and sub. These files play in 5.1 on Kodi running on the same PC. Can I get Emby Theater to play them correctly?
Luke 42077 Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 Hi there, what version of Emby Theater are you playing with?
SteveFintel 30 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Posted August 22, 2022 Emby Theater V3.0.16 on Windows 10 22H1. FYI I see the same behavior on Emby Theater V 2.0.77a on an Amazon FireTV 4K.
SteveFintel 30 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Posted August 23, 2022 @Luke FYI, here's what playback of a 5.1 FLAC looks like:
SteveFintel 30 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 @Luke BTW, here's the media info report on the same file:
Luke 42077 Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 How have you configured audio settings in the app?
Luke 42077 Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 As a test, if you set the speaker layout to 5.1, does that make a difference?
SteveFintel 30 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Posted August 27, 2022 What I'm seeing now is the output from Emby Theater for 5.1 audio matches the speaker configuration. In other words: ET Speaker Config ET Outputs... 2.0 source material 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 5.1 source material 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 2.1, 5.1, 7.1
SteveFintel 30 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 It did until I decided to try an upgrade to Windows 11 (I'm having issues with HDR, but that's a separate thread). Under W11, video files wouldn't play at all (spinning icon went on endlessly). After downgrading back to W10, the 5.1 FLAC files indicate whatever the speaker config is set to. Here's the relevant part of the mpv log: [ 0.045][v][lavf] Found 'flac' at score=100 size=2048. [ 0.064][v][lavf] avformat_find_stream_info() finished after 274196 bytes.

Luke 42077 Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 So by setting it to 5.1 you're getting the sound that you want?
SteveFintel 30 Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Not consistently. I've used two test files - both encoded using the same process. The log file indicates both have 6 channel (5.1) content. One usually only plays in stereo, the other consistently plays in 5.1. I'm totally stumped. The system is 7.2.4 Atmos capable. What do you suggest the Windows audio driver be set to for output configuration? Edited September 1, 2022 by SteveFintel
Luke 42077 Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 Quote What do you suggest the Windows audio driver be set to for output configuration? Well I would just make sure your windows speaker setup is set correctly. I do see one area of improvement we can make in the way we configure mpv when your setting is 7.1. Essentially we're currently telling mpv that you support 7.1 and stereo, when it should be 7.1, 5.1 and stereo. But when you configure mpv to 5.1, I would expect that to work, barring an issue with the source file of course.
SteveFintel 30 Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 I agree that telling mpv that the 'degraded' formats are also supported would help. I've tried an mpv.conf file that includes audio-channels=6, but I can't tell if that's overridden by the option selected in Emby Theater.
Luke 42077 Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 It might be. Maybe instead if you can find this file in your installation folder, then you can apply this change: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron/commit/4d36b41d322be08ad2326f8cb5d348526333cfe1 And then you can just use the UI.
SteveFintel 30 Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 Great idea, but it didn't help. The one file that reliably indicated 5.1 on playback now doesn't anymore. Any other ideas?
Luke 42077 Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 @SteveFintel are you still running into this?
SteveFintel 30 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 It's inconsistent. I haven't been able to create a set of reproducible conditions that causes it to work (or fail) every time. FYI, Emby Theater for Android on a Fire HD 4K works every time.
Luke 42077 Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 @generiq are you able to play flac 5.1?
Guest Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I'm not able to test that. @SteveFintel set your windows audio to 7.1 and also in Theater. Make sure upmix is disabled. Disable any audio settings in your mpv.conf. Play one file that has the issue, just once, and attach the complete mpv log file. From your earlier log excerpt, this is the upmix. This shouldn't be happening. mpv will apply the upmix to audio that it decodes. @Luke you may want to revise your code in Theater, and make sure upmix doesn't interact with audio from non-music related files.

Luke 42077 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 @SteveFintel @generiq Are you still having an issue with this? If so, can you try the latest testing build and let us know how that compares? It has an updated mpv. Thanks !
SteveFintel 30 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) It's been mysteriously working flawlessly for the last month. I'll try it anyway and see if there are any regressions. Installing this means unzipping to C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater\system ? What version number should I see? Edited November 1, 2022 by SteveFintel
SteveFintel 30 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Posted November 2, 2022 This was a big regression on my theater system for me. Audio (5.1 and 2.0) played fine, but video was always a black screen (the overlays showed, but content did not). It didn't matter if I was playing .TS, .mkv or .mp4 files. I heard the audio tracks but no video.
