Hey - Hoping for some help with this as I don't understand where I am going wrong!

 

Have the same issue on both Chromecast and Now TV 2 (Roku) where files will not play in 5.1. I am (now) aware that Chromecast does not support DTS passthrough, but even with 5.1 AC3 I only get stereo output from the Chromecast to my AVR. 

 

Here's the transcode log from the film with AC3. Would appreciate any help to get this resolved!

hi, as a test, do you have any content that direct plays on the chromecast? can you verify whether that passes through the ac3 or not? thanks.

Thanks for quick response!

 

I think this is the snippet form the corresponding server log. So it says here that it's eligible for direct play? Would this not play then or still require transcoding?

 

I have a slew of different encodings in my media - would need to check what is able toe be direct played. What's the most ideal format to direct stream to Chromecast?

Vid stream looks OK - It's the audio piece that's confusing... I have to make sure it's AAC to direct play?

The answer to this particular example is HE-AAC, which Chromecast does not support.

Ah - Did not realize that was different! 

 

So without sounding like a n00b - Can there not be some option to re-code the audio into AAC? I don't mind too much about transcoding, as I do about ensuring I have 5.1 audio! 

 

something like if >2 audio channels, encode in AAC, or just let me encode everything in that when using Chromecast or Roku...

If you check out the folder sync feature it can create pre-transcoded copies:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Folder%20Sync

 

Is that what you're asking?

 

 

Not exactly Luke... 

 

In short, I don't care about the CPU usage for transcoding, but I do care about the capacity and time it would take for me to re-encode videos to work with streaming boxes (too time / disk consuming). 

 

What would be great - is to change the on-the-fly transcoding. Instead of automatically down mixing to 2 channel MP3, provide option that if the container has >2 audio channels, encode this into a multi-channel format supported by the streaming device (i.e. AAC).

BTW - I did manage to find some content which put out 5.1! So it did work.

 

The icing would be if I could get a transcode to keep multi channel audio! :)

Ok, it's the issue of transcoding then.

 

@@shorty1483, I can switch back from mp3 to aac but I will need to get immediate feedback on whether or not the audio popping issue returns. It was only happening when transcoding to aac.

The chromecast can transcode to AC3 in hls and pass-through cant it? Then if your tv supports it you get sound, otherwise you get silence. Then always transcode to AC3 in the presence of surround (would maybe require an app setting), otherwise fall back to mp3 or aac. This would mean transcoding DTS to ac3, 7.1 truehd to 7.1 ac3 etc. This is possible but I am not sure how licensing works on android. In fact on checking, along with (dd) ac3 there is also (dd+) ac3 7.1 is supported, as is aac 5.1

If you send out an update, I'll check today.

Hey guys,

Please re-test because when transcoding now you should see ac-3, assuming supported hardware

I tested a few films today - all were outputting multi-channel audio! I did not experience any audio issues to note. 

 

One thing I did notice, is that the video took a little longer to display, so for the first 5 seconds you could hear the audio, with the video taking around 5 seconds to appear. But then some times I was just switching between films.
