Emby freezes while playing TrueHD 7.1

[BurntTech 6]

Anyone had issues with direct playing movies using with TrueHD 7.1 audio tracks? The logs for Emby Theater doesn't contain anything. Is there a way to enable more debug logs for direct play movies. So I noticed it on newer Disney movies so far. It always freezes in the same spots while playing TrueHD 7.1. I can switch it to 5.1 Dolby and movie doesn't freeze in any spots.

Is there any advanced debugging logs for Emby Theater XML that can be enabled. I can reproduce this every time but since this is direct play there isn't any logs on the server.

3.0.11 on windows 10.

That sounds like a slight file corruption that ffmpeg balks at. Try disabling audio passthrough, and see what happens.

I'll give that a shot, do know if I can see a client side ffmpeg log?

You'll have to configure mpv for logging.

I haven't found the spot to add the logfile parm yet, i'll check in the xml config. I disabled audio passthru and it doesn't freeze in the same spot. I have two Atmos receivers that this happens to when using 3.0.11 on two different windows 10 machines. You can switch to 5.1 or even Dolby 8+ channel and no freezing while using receivers. I tested with 7.1 TrueHD passthru on a laptop but no receiver and it doesn't crash either. It doesn't appear to be file corruption or if it is its only corruption above 5 channels? But some TrueHD 7.1 movies work which makes this a bit weird.

You have to make an mpv.conf, and add the logging command, including naming the actual log file.
