Android TV App Makes Home Theater Click on Rewind

[WyattZirbel 16]

I understand this bug is very specific but here goes.

 

I have a DirecTV Stream box and a Pioneer home theater setup. Whenever I rewind what I’m watching, it makes my home theater receiver click as if the input type had changed. For example, when I turn my TV on, it would click initially but never again unless you change input sources with the receiver.

 

It only happens when I rewind not when it pauses.

I tried it again after leaving the show on and it stopped. If nobody can come up with any ideas, I can try some more steps, if it’s worth it.

HI, what are you playing when this happens? Is it direct playing from the server, or is there transcoding involved?

Hi.  More than likely it is bitstreaming audio.  My Pioneer receiver always muted itself (with an audible click) whenever the audio stream was interrupted like it will be for a pause or seek operation.  You could look in your DTV box settings and see if there is something labeled something like "HDMI comfort noise" for an option.
