ebr 16169 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Okay, so with the setting we have in the app it works as expected, correct?

All of his experience so far is with a different system. We'd probably be best to wait until he actually test with Emby. I didn't specify channel count. And if they all support 2 channel mp3 and 2 channel AAC, why use both? Ah yes, if all of the reports are based on the other system, then the information is of no use. That said, it's probably treating it like ARC or SPDIF, decoding to PCM and then resampling to stereo.

It's going to confuse a lot of people when talking about connections with the Arc, arc and eArc Also, I have the Sonos Beam (and PlayBar before that) and it also doesn't support DTS playback, but with my Shield attached to it, then the TV, DTS is remuxed to DD, which is confirmed by the Sonos app. Edited August 20, 2020 by CBers 1
vdatanet 1617 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) My two cents, I have some Shields in different systems, the only one that supports DTS is the only one that the Shield does DTS passthrough. If I disable DTS passthrough in Android TV app in that system, then DTS is converted in AC3 at server side as expected. When DTS is unsupported, DTS is converted to AC3.

CogyG 3 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Another Sonos->Shield-LGtv user here. I disabled DTS/DTS-HD passthrough in de playback settings, every DTS/DTS-HD-track gets transcoded to AC3. But it's a shame PGS subtitles don't work while transcoding ,server crashes. So it's og subtitle with PCM audio (settings on LGtv) or srt subtitle with AC3 audio. I hope there will come a solution for this Edited December 29, 2020 by CogyG

The next release of the app will allow you to tell it not to convert those to DD. I cannot say when this will be generally available but you can try the beta if you wish.
CogyG 3 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Hi Ebr, Thanks for the response The track is better with Ac3, but i do like to choose original subtitles. Will that be possible in the next release?

That's possible now but, if the item has to be remuxed in order to convert the audio then these subs have to be burned in by the server. You either need to choose a compatible audio track, let the app decode the incompatible track to PCM (what the next release will allow you to do) or obtain text-based subtitles to avoid the transcoding and burn in.
CogyG 3 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 ''''let the app decode the incompatible track to PCM (what the next release will allow you to do)'''' Or just change the tv settings to pcm, so emby don't have to do all the work.
CogyG 3 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Just trying to watch some 4K movies with DTS while transcoding to AC3. But some movies cant playback the image, i get some purple, greenish color's. This is because of the transcoding. If i select another track aC3 (with commentary), there''s no problem. Why does one movie have this problem, and the other not? Inception has this problem, intersteller doesn't - Direct stream becasue of the audio - 4K movie with 76 mbps - MKV content Thanks in your advance ffmpeg-remux- Interstellar.txt ffmpeg-remux-Inception.txt Edited January 3, 2021 by CogyG

This will downmix all audio to pcm. I also have the beta version, but “convert unsupported audio” is not available Only enable downmix My sonos playbar can play truehd, so this is no option. i will wait untill dts can be remuxed to ac3 without any problems. Thanks

Thanks The latest beta of the ATV no longer has the Downmix option, just the "Convert Unsupported Audio to Dolby Digital" option. Enabled, it will convert (remux) audio to AC3, disabled it passes though PCM. Make sure you're running v1.8.66. My Shield/Sonos Beam combination causes any audio better than Dolby Digital to remux to DD. Not sure your Sonos PlayBar can play TrueHD, as when I had one it couldn't. Or do you have a Sonos ARC?
