[Help] Jellyfin outputs stereo instead of 5.1 on Zidoo Z9S - obi - 2025-01-05
Hello,
I am a new Jellyfin user.
I have installed the Jellyfin server (10.10.3) in a Docker container on my Unraid NAS.
I’m encountering an issue with the Jellyfin client (Android TV 0.18.3) on my Zidoo Z9S media player.
This player is connected to an audio amplifier that handles sound decoding.
When I play a movie via Jellyfin, the player only outputs stereo sound, even though the audio tracks of my MKV files are in 5.1 (with various codecs like DTS, Dolby AC3, TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, etc.).
However, when I use the Zidoo's native app (HomeTheatre 4), there is no problem.
The 5.1 sound is correctly sent to my amplifier.
I have checked all the Jellyfin settings on both the client and the server, but I can’t figure out where the issue is coming from.
Could you please help me?
Thanks

Do you have the audio output setting configured to "Downmix to stereo"?

No, I did check that, and it's "DIRECT".

Play some files and post the server and any FFmpeg logs.

Stream #0:1: Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 256 kb/s (default) (forced)Why does Jellyfin transcode the audio track to aac?
Is this the normal behavior of Jellyfin? My Unraid server has very limited hardware and is only used as a storage server for MKV files. It's not designed for transcoding (my Zidoo media player handles the video decoding, and my amplifier handles the audio).
However, when I stream, Jellyfin shows "Direct Play - The source file is fully compatible with this client, and the session is receiving the file without modifications."
I don't really understand what's going on here...

I don't see why it would be transcoding and downmixing to stereo. Try clearing the data, deleting the app, and reinstalling it.

Clearing the data of what ?
Thanks

On the Android platform, go to Settings > Apps, then select Jellyfin, and you should be able to clear the app data.

So, I did clear the app data, delete and reinstall it... But it still doesn't work.
Jellyfin always downconverts the audio to aac!
I even tried on another android box (Xiaomi Mi Box S), and it's the same thing : stereo instead of 5.1 tracks
Maybe it's a bad setting of the Jellyfin server but which ?!
I don't know.
If you have more ideas...
Thanks

Try this:
- Install Just Player. It's on the Google Play Store.
- In the Jellyfin ATV client, go to Settings-> Playback-> Advanced Playback Preferences, and select Use External Player.
- Play an item, and then choose Just Player as the external player.
When you use an external player, Jellyfin will attempt to play the file directly without transcoding.
