Hi there
I just started testing Jellyfin as an alternative to Plex and I was super impressed. However, as I tried watching a movie on my Android phone through the Jellyfin app I experienced a "deal-breaking" issue. During playback there seems to be no or poor downmixing from 5.1 to stereo.
Any "speech" is almost inaudible while everything else is cranked up high. This is true for all movies/series I tried. I did try to search around for any configuration suggestions as to what setting I am missing. It seems that most of what I found indicate a need to re-encode files to include generated 2.0 audio track which can be selected upon playback. This seems like it should be unlikely, right?
Playback of the same files on the same phone using VLC, or streaming using Plex, works without issues. If this is possible through local playback on the phone or using Plex I figure there surely must be some simple setting I am just missing which would solve this issue?
Any suggestions or references to the correct documentation to solve this issue would be much appreciated
