Configure audio delay for android tv client - Jorge - 2024-08-27
Hello, I have observed that since I updated to last jellyfin client for Android TV (currently, I can't choose between Exoplayer and LibVLC) and server, I can't adjust audio delay while I am watching some content.
Before this update, I had the option for adjust delay for subtitles and audio in player layout
I'm not completelly sure, but I remember that this option for adjust delay only appeared if LibVLC was selected
How I can recover this option? Maybe this feature has been deleted?
Current Android TV Jellyfin client version: 0.17.4
Current Jellyfin Server: 10.9.10
Thanks a lot

Audio and sub delay were a feature of libVLC, which was removed. libVLC hasn't been updated by VLC in two years and had several unpatched security vulnerabilities.
A more detailed explanation is in the PR that removed it.

Thanks a lot for very quick response and explanation
Do you know about any external player for android tv that have the feature for adjust audio delay?. I have some videos which audio and video are not synchronized and this libVLC feature was very usefull for me 😔

I don't have any experience with external players. So I can't provide guidance on that.
You could also correct the offset permanently.
Code:
/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i "/path/to/movie.mp4" -itsoffset 5 -i "/path/to/movie.mp4" -map_chapters 0 -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 0:s -c copy "movie-audio-delayed.mp4"This would delay the audio by 5 seconds. If you need to advance the audio 5 seconds you would make the value -5.
