RE: Android TV version 0.17 - Jennso - 2024-08-12
I'll checked again, I have the impression that maybe the audio is getting passthrough since I didn't see any transcoding on the server side but maybe there is some metadata that is not being sent properly through exoplayer, I found out that if you enable scale refresh rate and framerate to TV, I get the "Multi In" if I disable this then I get the "Atmos" in my reciever, but disabling the scale to TV makes micro stutters in the video, that's why I originally enabled it, wierd behavior, my setup is pretty simple to, shield with ATV jellyfin pluged to a Denon atmos reciever, into a samsung s95b.
RE: Android TV version 0.17 - Jennso - 2024-08-12
I got it to work by changing the shield resolutiona and refresh rate to 4k 59hz (default), instead of 4k 60hz, not sure what was wrong before, now there are only some files that are not playable, like a remux of the 4k blueray of house of dragon season 1, for some reason I just get a black screen, not much diferent on format HVEC HDR10 Atmos audio, it used to play well on libvlc.
RE: Android TV version 0.17 - Jennso - 2024-08-12
I found out that the issu is that I have mkv files that are hybrid, that have the DV and HDR10 layer, my tv is only HDR10 capable, but seems like jellyfin is not able to read both DV and HDR10 layer and only shows the DV layer and tries to play that, maybe there is an option for jellyfin to choose the layer that is complatible a play that, plex does this, same setup, I play an hybrid rip and plex uses the HDR10 layer and all is working fine, could be a feature request or bug fix, I believe this should work with exoplayer since is works well on plex

Anyway to go back to the old version so I can use LibVLC on ATV again? I originally almost dumped Jellyfin several months ago when I first got it because many files played out of sync and LibVLC fixed those issues. Now its back to having a bunch of out of sync shows and movies again. Whatever "bugs" it had was better than this.

This may be a niche problem, and one that might be on the radar, or is just a configuration setting I have wrong. When attempting to use PGS Forced subtitles (Mainly for anime where it displays the signs and the song lyrics) do not work in the 0.17.x android tv client. I think it may trace back to the removal of LibVLC as a video playback engine, but is there a way to get them to work, or do I just not use them for now?

They don't work with direct playing because the ATV player (Exoplayer) doesn't support PGS subs directly.

Do you get an error message when attempting to playback PGS subs? Maybe it's an issue with your transcoding settings.

It transcoded something I had in ASS, but not the PGS ones. I turned off the 'Subtitle Extraction on the fly' in transcoding to force the burn in. But idk, Like I said, its probably a really niche issue(2024-08-16, 03:00 AM)Andokai Wrote: ok, I have transcoding enabled on the server, but it tends to play everything at direct for the TV as it generally supports all of the content Im playing.
