Emby is not senior friendly

Hah, knew that would make you look...

...but it is kinda true.

I share my Emby media library with my 80 year old sister. She has recently discovered that she enjoys watching her shows through a Bluetooth headset that she can crank up to hear better.   

Yep, you know what's coming.....

She constantly complains that the audio (specifically dialog) does not sync with the video.   She grimaces and continues to watch but I can understand the discomfort.

There has got to be some way to adjust the audio timing.  I know this has been in the back-burner for years but now I am seeing it in a slightly different light.  Sorta senior discrimination.

So once again, I am hoping this adds a bit more fuel to this feature request.

Thanks for tolerating my rant!

What Bluetooth standard does her headset and the transmitter it's connecting to support?  Older standards have appreciable delay, but the latest are fine.

My wife is deaf, and has Bluetooth in her hearing aids, and there is a Bluetooth transmitter from the hearing aid company behind the TV (using the optical output) - that syncs fine.  I use four-year-old Sony headphones connecting to my iPad, and there is no sync problem there either (I'm also 80, but I guess that's not really relevant).

However, I agree that an adjustment is useful, because a significant number of videos and broadcasts have poor timing anyway.

She is using Air pods and a Sony TV that has Bluetooth.  She tells me it is only Emby that has issues as she can watch cable TV without a hitch.  Not sure how that can be but I cannot argue without going there and trying it.
