pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I have emby theatre installed on windows 10, HDMI > LG TV > Digital out to SONOS Playbar (with two Play 1 Surrounds)I am getting no sound through my system when the movie is DTS audio. AC3 Works fine. I am fairly sure I have tried every combination of playback setting at least twice.The strange thing is, DTS movies work if I use the Emby Windows App. Can anyone help? theater-63590139907.txt

pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 You should have it enabled. I checked into it and (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero.theme) is already enabled. It is the default windows theme in windows 10 but is named 'Windows' in control panel. I am unsure as to why a theme could affect the DTS audio not working in Emby Theatre when it works fine in the Windows Emby App.

The new ET relies on aero for some of it's features and if it is not detected it will disable them. I'm not sure what the status of the warning is but at one point you would get a prompt when starting ET if aero was disabled stating that some features may be missing. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30548-theatre-surround-sound-and-guide/ Have you tested with multiple video files? There was another user that had issues with DTS due to a bad media info on the file itself. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30524-no-dts-over-spdif/

pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 Lav filters installed? I hadn't heard of LAV filter but I have installed it and still nothing. Not sure I have it set up correctly to be fair
Jdiesel 1431 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Would a bad file work in one but not the other? Unlikely. Can you also upload a logfile from your server when you attempting to play a video with DTS? It is possible that the video is being transcoded by the server.

It is possible that the video is being transcoded by the server. Here is the log file from when I try and play a DTS in Emby Theatre (American Horror Story). funnily enough when I tried a file in Windows Emby App, it did say up the top right 'playback:transcoding' Log.txt
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 You don't need to install lav filters, or anything.
pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 try setting the audio renderer to default yeah that doesn't work Log.txt
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 As a test, can you try disabling refresh rate switching? thanks.

Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 welll, your theater log shows you were able to find it and turn it on in the first place
pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 oops, you're right, i absolutely did . i was trying everything to get it working.Anyway, disabled it again and still not working. new log attached Log.txt
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Please provide the theater log, not server log, thanks.
pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 we'll get there eventually theater-63590212530.txt
pprezzla 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 OK I've got it working!!! a clean install of Emby Theatre and it worked.I checked playback settings and bit streaming is now set to 'none' That must have been the problem. It was on HDMI before Thanks for everybody's help
bnwbass 3 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I have been struggling with this for a week now trying to get HD Master DTS as well. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and server with theater with no luck Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Is it possible you enabled it when it should not have been enabled in the first place?
pprezzla 2 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Does your equipment even support bitstreaming? Is it possible you enabled it when it should not have been enabled in the first place? Yeah it is possible did enable it by mistake. After further investigation, i've just found out that sonos does not support DTS. I didn't think to check because the audio was working when i was using the Emby Windows App Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
