Feel free to laugh. I have nuked my whole media library over an amazon firestick! LOL
I set Tdarr loose on downmixing all my surround tracks to stereo so that it would work with a multitude of devices.
As it turns out my TV (trust me I have played with the settings) somehow just refuses to do stereo in jellyfin.
Every other device works. Headphones works.
But my LG C3, I guess the 2.2 speakers are not just a marketing term for "stereo" and indeed there is something happening with the audio.
What is curious is if I put the quality right down to something stupidly low 720p 8mbps say on a 4k file. It works just fine, so transcoding works ok!
But direct play or even a transcode from 4k to 1080p does not work. It leaves me with huge "gaps" in the audio. Almost like clipping but sounds absolutely fine through
other devices and headphones, maybe a tad of quality loss on some files.
I transcoded on the CPU too thinking this would be more reliable. Im at a loss as to what would cause this. Its not a missing channel.
The only thing I can think is something to do with dynamic range. Or the compression, but then why would it work on my mobile phone! Or PC monitor.
