Mono Audio Issue

[drjonz 4]

Got Google TV recently and the emby app there is great. However, some of my older movies recorded in mono (not even stereo) won't play ("too many errors"). Is there an audio setting I can use to get this going? I thought I had it figured out to uncheck DTS passthru but trying that trick no longer seems to work. Upgraded to the beta and can't seem to find the golden setting that worked. I either forgot or the feature changed under the covers.

Hi.  Can you try with the beta version?

Beta version has the same errors. I didn't update server to beta. Does that matter?

Hi.  I think there is a known issue with DD mono.  We need to find a workaround.

I had this issue tonight for the first time trying to play some Blu-Rays I just ripped and encoded but it was DTS Mono and DTS Stereo and AC3 Stereo....5.1 played fine.  Seems like the only thing that plays is 5.1 and PCM audio on my Sony.  I am running the latest beta.
