RE: Android TV Music playback - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-08
AIFF is not supported by Android TV. But the server SHOULD be remuxing or transcoding it. Did you disable transcoding? Is the server trying and failing to transcode?

I was able to replicate the issue and have submitted a bug report here.

That's too bad. Is that true for all of Android or just the Jellyfin app?
I'll check the transcoding settings again later.
Thanks.

Perfect, thank you!

Jellyfin uses exoplayer, the playback engine built into Android and Android TV, and exoplayer does not support AIFF.

Thanks for explaining that. Which encoding option exactly should be checked in order to play AIFF in general?

Based on what theguymadmax says, this appears to be a bug. Not sure if there is a work around other than manually converting the media to a different format.

Yeah I understand that. I was referring to this part: "But the server SHOULD be remuxing or transcoding it. Did you disable transcoding?" Are you referring to the Android TV app settings? Because those might be disabled.

The Jellyfin Android TV app doesn't support direct AIFF playback and should be requesting a remux or transcode from the server, but that's not happening. I’ve already tested it with transcoding enabled, and it’s not working. There’s nothing more to do except wait to see if the developer can track down the issue, or you can try converting your audio as others have suggested.

Thanks for clearing that up.
