passthrough doesn´t work

[hallansen 2]

I use the Emby Server on a Synology DS216j and have an Amazon Stick and an Nvidia Shield as a client.
Although passthrough is activated and set everywhere on the Emby clients, the Emby server converts all audio formats to AC3, which is completely nonsensical and therefore takes far too long. When I access the NAS with the same clients via DLNA or Plex, there are no problems, as if it can't be due to the basic settings of the clients. What is this going on?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Have you added the shared folder option in the library settings? Go to the page where you add the folders and make sure you have something in "(Optional) Shared network folder".

The problem was that many of my videos were in m2ts format at the time, and Emby still can't handle them (even though Blu-ray is the standard file format), forcing them to convert. After converting to mkv files, the problem was solved. I couldn't have known that at the time.

hi @hallansenEmby can handle m2ts just fine. If you had provided an example we probably could have helped you solve it. Glad you found a solution though.
