It appears the problem lies with the MKV file and exoplayer itself rather than the ATV client. I'll try and do some bug testing on the issue. Performing a straight remux of the file should resolve the issue. For workarounds, downmixing to stereo won’t help here, as it won't trigger a transcode since it's already stereo audio.
Update to version .17.4, and you should be able to play the file. In .17.4, after two unsuccessful attempts, the player will automatically request a transcoded version from the server, so there's no need to adjust your audio settings.
If you want to remux the file, here’s a command you can use. Given that you likely have many files, you might consider automating the process with a script in Linux.
Code:/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i path/to/input.mkv -map 0 -c copy /path/to/output.mkv
I saw the tag on the GitHub page but it looks like it's not yet distributed through the play store so I'll have to wait for .17.4 release to do that. I'll try and give that retranscoding a try.
