Bug report/feature request: Dolby TrueHD 7.1 transcodes into 192 kBit/s mp3 for Chrome client

[AV1Opus 5]

Hi all,

although I am amazed by the quality of this software and purchased Emby Premier Lifetime under another e-mail address, I find this automatic choice rather appalling.

Stats for nerds:

Audio
English TRUEHD 7.1 (Default)
48000 Hz
-> Transcode (MP3 192 kbps)

I can't seem to configure it anywhere, I would like to go for Opus 256 kBit/s for stereo and have higher bitrate for 5.1 and 7.1, which all of my devices support anyway.

Thanks

Hi, when transcoding, the HLS protocol is used and this can't hold opus.

Ahh, I hope that will be fixed upstream at some point.

It would be great if it would be fixed, but I highly doubt it will as most of the people who code this stuff don't seem to care about what people want, and have no clue about features. Apple created it and we know how much they hate Opus/AV1. If anything Emby should transcode TRUEHD to AAC for Chrome. There has been more than enough time for the corporations to fix this, but they just don't care, and it's frustrating specially as Opus is superior.

Even AAC 320 kBit/s would be fine by me, it's just that that mp3 is comically low compared to the average video bitrate.

Hi, we'll look at improving it. Thanks.
