Android tv app sound stutters and desync when direct playing


Recommended Posts

Posted

i have this annoying problem with android tv app version 1.5.17g that the sounds stutters or cuts out all the time and it also desyncs.

 

i have attached a server log.

 

it is when playing the file "a life earned".

 

works fine with build in Chromecast and dlna.

 

server version 3.2.40.0

I have some sound issues as well - after unpause my soundbar is not playing all channels (eg no central = no dubbing). Will attach logs later since I think that I'll be reporting errors with refresh rate switching on shield as well.

Hi.  Can you please try updating your server to the latest version by installing from the website over top of your current installation?

 

Thanks.

@@ebr i did the installation but same problem and it also seems to get more distorted.

Since I upgraded the server to 3.2.50 and then 3.2.60 I'm also having video/audio sync problems on my Shield with one video that used to work fine. Every other video I've tried seems to be completely in sync. 

 

The video is Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Hi.  What device is this happening on?

 

Can you please reproduce the problem and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app (please remember to come here and provide the requested information).

Ah, okay.  Did this happen on a Dolby Digital track?

 

Can you try the beta version of the app?

Interesting, it is actually playing in VLC and it is mixing down the track to stereo.

 

If you use the "Playback Correction" option, does it correct it?

i found that if i changed the audio from direct to down mix to stereo it seemed to work. but surely it should work in dolby i have surround setup but have to down mix to stereo

Posted

but surely it should work in dolby i have surround setup

 

Not according to what the system is telling us:

01-24 22:29:02.292 16437 16437 I System.out: Max Audio Channels reported as: 2

But I have not set it to downmix it is set to direct audio stream.

But I have not set it to downmix it is set to direct audio stream.

 

Yes but your system reports it will only handle a stereo input so that is what we give it.

 

I should rename the "direct" setting to "auto" because that's what it really is.

When I play the file it still says Dolby and it is direct streaming when I look in my server dashboard. My TV is set to just pass the audio through.

 

And my Sonos playbar reports that it is receiving Dolby 5.1 signal.

That's not what was happening in the log you sent above but, perhaps, that was after you already had changed the option.

I have not changed anything,But I can try again just to be sure.

 

It seems to me that something is reported wrong in the log?
