Bill4sman 10 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Does Emby downsample audio to 48KHz 16 bit? I'm streaming through Nvidia Shield and it's showing 48KHz 16 bit even though my source file is VERIFIED to be 24 bit.
ebr 16169 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Hi. Can we look at the details for the playback? How to Report a Problem
Bill4sman 10 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) The other apps I use DO playback 24bit audio like Tidal and my preamp displays the bitrate. EVERYTHING from Emby shows 48KHz 16bit and it IS direct playing. Sorry for bringing this up but Plex DOES play the files at the correct bitrate. So, this is back to Emby in terms of the app NOT supporting anything better than 48KHz 16bit. I'm really hoping this is a checkbox somewhere... Edited August 29, 2019 by Bill4sman
ebr 16169 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Hi. Can you please follow the instructions in the topic I linked above to send a log from the app right after playing this item for a few seconds? Thanks.
Bill4sman 10 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 Not sure what I changed but now it's working!
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Ok, now it's NOT working again. here's the file I used to ensure it was 192/24bit http://www.lindberg.no/hires/test/2L-145/2L-45_stereo_01_FLAC_176k_24b.flac If I cast the music it DOES switch to 192/24bit on my DAC...

ebr 16169 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Hi. Can you determine under exactly what conditions it appears to play at the higher rate vs. not? It is direct playing via the app but does appear to be downsampled to 48khz (based on the limited info I can get from my receiver). Cannot confirm the bitrate. Since it is direct playing it must be the FLAC extension we are using that is downsampling it.
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 Yes, if I play from ANY Emby app directly it will not exceed 16bit but if I Cast to the Shield, it plays trhe correct bitrate.
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 I'm also on the latest beta of 4.3.0.7
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) And it's transcoding Edited September 5, 2019 by Bill4sman
ebr 16169 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Exactly how are you "casting" it? That tile doesn't look like it is actually transcoding as there is no transcode progress. Was an ffmpeg log produced?
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I cast from my PC and it works. Cast from Android app does NOT work because I cannot choose Shield Chromecast from app? ffmpeg-transcode-29c87f1d-8f09-4fb5-bdae-c7ce1a474dde_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-d9128fba-ece5-476e-9d1f-3c993c42605d_1.txt Edited September 5, 2019 by Bill4sman
ebr 16169 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Okay, when you play it via Android Mobile, it is transcoding it. If you play it directly in Android TV, it will direct play it. However, that does appear to still downsample.
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 It transcodes it regardless it seems?
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 It's playing but not at 24bit as i should be
ebr 16169 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Any ideas? It is direct playing via the app but does appear to be downsampled to 48khz (based on the limited info I can get from my receiver). Cannot confirm the bitrate. Since it is direct playing it must be the FLAC extension we are using that is downsampling it. That is my only idea at this point. We'll have to investigate further. Thanks.
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 Yes, I DID post this elsewhere but I want beta testers to know what's going on as well. ALL of my 24 bit music files are downsampling to 16bit UNLESS they are cast. STILL AN OPEN ISSUE!
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 this IS a beta issue so why is this being moved?
Luke 42077 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Hi there, it will be easier for everyone involved if we can discuss this in one place, rather than have the same conversation in two different topics. For example, every-time we come back into here, we'll have to go back to your other topic to find the original information to refresh our memory, users will ask the same questions in both places, etc. Thanks.
Guest asrequested Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I just tried this in Theater, both from stable and beta servers. It played correctly, so it must be something directly in the player. [ 0.214][v][ao/wasapi] Accepted as stereo s32 @ 176400hz -> stereo s32 (32/24 bits) @ 176400hz (exclusive)
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Posted September 7, 2019 Server version is 4.3.0.7 Android App 1.7.43g NOT working...
Bill4sman 10 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Posted September 16, 2019 so where are we on this??? NOTHING has been done to resolve based on feedback!
