Android TV beta? Or why does this file not play? - dow2491 - 2024-07-29
Anyone know how I opt out of the beta? Having some playback issues, not 100% sure if it's related.. But I also don't want to be part of a beta.
Logs are here: https://pastebin.com/WRqCMnyi
Does anyone know how I can play the file or why it keeps playing for about ten seconds on my TV then errors?

The playback method says direct play, but it is still spawning a ffmpeg process to transcode? Is there an ffmpeg log from this?
To leave the beta program you have to go to the listing on a phone or in a browser and "Leave" at the bottom.

Hmm there are two, this is an ffmpeg log - https://pastebin.com/cXy45fbH
And a directplay log - https://pastebin.com/ER0pddU1
Thanks, I was able to leave the beta program via my phone

Both are direct playing the video and transcoding the audio. Not entirely sure what is going on.

It's transcoding the audio because, starting from version .17, new ATV installations use stereo audio as the default setting.
You might want to try setting your audio to Direct. Go to Settings -> Playback -> Audio and see if that makes a difference.

Yes thank you! This seems to have fixed it.
