Android TV Music Videos vs Movies (sound options, etc)

[nmbguy 0]

I have searched and have not found specifics on how music videos and movies are treated differently.  I have a concert video that has multiple audio tracks, but only plays as stereo in my music video collection.  If I put the same video in my movie collection, I have the option to pick between the different audio formats (including DD 5.1).

 

Are many playback options (such as audio track selection) eliminated for music videos?  Is there documentation on what the other differences are between music videos and movies?

Hi, no there aren't. It should be exactly the same. What app are you seeing this with?

The server is running on Windows 7 and I was using the Android TV app on a Nvidia Shield TV 2017.

Ok, @@ebr can comment on that. Thanks.

Hi.  Can you show some screen shots?

 

Also, does it behave differently with the web app?

So, after I added to video file to my movies folder to check it out there, I moved it back to my music video folder and now I have the option for the 2 audio tracks.  Not sure if that had anything to do with it or what happened.  All I really know it is that is seems to be working properly.  Thanks for all of the quick responses.

Okay, just sounds like the item hadn't been properly probed yet and your moving it around forced that to happen.  In the future, you can try a manual refresh of the item from the web app.

 

Thanks.
