Fast playback speed and no sound on Android Chrome

[Mikexx 1]

Everything use to work fine.

As per title, recently many movies suffer from this issue, only a few don't and even then it's hit and miss after power cycling the TV box.

I've also restarted the server.

It runs fine on Chrome on a laptop.

I have no idea what is causing this. Any ideas?

I've attached an example log file.

Hi, so you're using Chrome on a TV box?

Yes, what should I use?

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been looking into this, and I've been looking for an Emby client, which I have failed to find. I'm not sure how this link helps? Is this not for the server? How is it used as a client?

It seems this is quite a common problem; where the playback speed isn't as expected.

Hi @Mikexx this link is for the Emby Android client. Can you please try that and let us know how it compares? Thanks !

This works fine, well for the first minute of course.

If I go back to Chrome, then it runs again at double speed and no sound.

What does this tell you?

Have you updated to Emby Server 4.7.10? Has that helped?

Thanks for the reply. I've just checked, it automatically updated to 4.7.10 a few days ago.

Sorry, no. I was trying to say that the client worked fine, but the Android browsers didn't with this version.

What device and version of android is this on?
