Streaming controlled by Android - Profile?

[ChrisLoh 0]

I am stuck here and can't find the information.

I have my Emba server on a synology NAS and it's working fine. No I want to stream video to my Samsung TV. This was fine for some videos, but for those with DTS audio it did not work. So I figured out, how to create a custom profile and make emby to use it with my TV. 

Now I can play als videos with DTS audio, when I use my TV interface to start the video. (So I can go in the TV menu to dlna, choose the Emby server, and then the video.)

So step 1 is done. But what I really want is, to start the playback with the emby app on my android mobile. But this doesn't work for DTS. So: playing directly with the TV, DTS ist transcoded. Playing from the Emby app to my TV seems not to trancode. 

My understanding was: no matter who starts the playback, emby sees the DLNA target, and uses the profile is the target is recognized. Is this wrong? Does emby see only ma android device, when streaming with it to my TV? How can I make Emby to transcode in this case??

 

Thank you in advance,

Pete

I don't know. It is a Samsung TV and I didn't install any apps or so. So it seems to see in factory default my DLNA servers. In the "Home" menu I see "Emby" and some others like my NAS or Plex. 

Playing the file this way, I see in the log, that Emby recognizes my TV and uses the custom profile. Playing the same video with the Emby app on Android, I can't see this.
