Nvidia Shield Audio Codec Issues (E-AC3)

[Hu7cH 0]

In a newly introduced emby client update (version 2.1.48g) on my Nvidia shield (version 9.2.4 (33.2.0.400)) has been broken overnight so now there is no audio for 70%+ of my media unless I turn on the following options:
Use the option to invoke a separate video player (it uses VLC and you are then opting out of all the emby playback magic)
Use the option to force non-supported dolby codecs (and the playback performance is then abysmal when scrubbing or play/pausing)

 

Additional information: Emby Server Version is 4.9.5.0

NOTE: This is not an issue with the normal Android app.

so now there is no audio

Hi.  Please play a problematic item for several seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

Sorry, but I've uninstalled the android TV client and moved onto the android one as this was a significant regression I couldn't live with.

Also, I'm blown away that this was able to get through your build process and the sort of reasons I left Plex.
