Samsung Tizen app unable to play FLAC – infinite loading, no playback, forces AAC transcoding

[FrostByte 5533]

I don't see anything related to FLAC playback in the release notes but maybe try updating your Emby server (4.9.1.90) and Samsung client (2.2.8) to the latest versions.  And if you really want to go wild DSM 7.3 Update 1 is out.

Bonjour, je confirme depuis la MAJ de TIZEN OS les .FLAC lu par Emby tourne en boucle et la lecture ne demarre jamais je suis sur TrueNAS, Emby Server derniere version et TIZEN OS egalement

 

Hello, I can confirm that since the Tizen OS update, .FLAC files played via Emby get stuck in a loop and playback never starts; I am running TrueNAS with the latest versions of both Emby Server and Tizen OS.

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