Several files erroring out when direct playing to nvidia shield pro

There’s no roadmap to this being fixed as there is no open issue. You can open up a new issue on the Jellyfin AndroidTV github here or comment on the original closed issue. However, I believe the problem lies upstream with AndroidX Media3 (ExoPlayer), which is the underlying player used by AndroidTV.

Using the FFmpeg renderer bypasses the Media3 codec implementation, which uses platform decoders. While FFmpeg can deliver surround sound, it gets converted to PCM. It’s best to use FFmpeg only for compatibility issues like this.

FLAC 7.1 is an uncommon audio format for movies, and I would recommend avoiding encoding your media to FLAC 7.1. Instead, consider converting your media to EAC3 or AAC.

I appreciate the explanation, thanks. Do you have a recommended guide on converting from flac?

Code:

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i "/media/Movies/Ready Player One (2018)/Ready.Player.One.2018.REPACK.4K.HDR.DV.2160p.BDRemux Ita Eng x265-NAHOM.mkv" -map 0 -c:v copy -c:a:1 aac -b:a:1 192k -c:s copy "/media/Movies/Ready Player One (2018)/Ready.Player.One.2018.REPACK.4K.HDR.DV.2160p.BDRemux Ita Eng x265-NAHOM_output.mkv"

-c:a:1 aac  - this flags converts the second audio stream (FLAC) to AAC. You would need to adjust depending what track your other files are.
