I own four Nvidia Shields, with one of them the new Pro model, and I have had more issues with the Pro over any other streamer I've ever used. There doesn't seem to be a perfect streamer out there yet. ATV is out with no lossless audio bitstreaming, and it doesn't do HLG properly either, it will play the files, but it flags them as HDR10, so I don't know if it's doing a LUT conversion internally or is just screwed up. The slow, native apps on my TV do with with Youtube HDR and all HLG files running through Emby, flagging properly as HLG. ![]() ![]() I'm currently using an Nvidia Shield TV Pro as an Emby client, but it doesn't do Youtube HDR and it doesn't support the HLG version of HDR. U/maisun1983 does the Zidoo (not sure what model you have) work with Emby Google Play store app, or do you have to run it through Kodi? I don't have a Zidoo, but see you can activate the Play store with it, but I don't know if Emby works with it, or if audio bitstreaming works, etc. And in spite of that dreadful change, I'll take it any day over the what Plex was doing when I quit using them. But I just checked and it does the same thing as Roku. I haven't used the Android app in so long I can't remember if it was always like that. (I usually have 12 to 15 I work through.) I have to scroll all the way to the right to get to the next one in my rotation. (It would rotate through the shows endlessly if I kept scrolling in either direction.). I used to be able to move one show left and pick up what I was going to watch next. Before, I opened up the Roku app and the last show I watched was where I landed first. I rotate several shows at a time and watch an episode or two, then move to the next one. I use Continue Watching exclusively except when I watch a movie (rarely), go to a podcast (also rarely) or add a new show to my rotation. I loved the Roku app until the other day. Now I have better speeds using wireless than I used to get with wired. Both of those changed after I moved here. Part of that was the NAS, and part of it was that the modem was slower. It also used to happen sometimes on the old NAS I used to use when my wife, son and I were streaming at the same time. Most of the times I've had problems it was because the media I had contained glitches. I haven't had much trouble with streaming. Every now and then I use the Android app. I use Roku for streaming for the most part. Not related to emby playback, but another firmware update a few years ago broke HDCP negotiation on my HDMI chain when connected to my soundbar so I had to connect my soundbar to my TV audio out which is inferior. The only way I got them to work on Roku is by re-muxing them. They play back on the emby web client and on VLC just fine. More recently I found some special features won't play back because Roku doesn't like something in the mkv header. ![]() The above were correctable by selecting the "attempt playback correction" option in the emby client repeatedly. There is always some compatibility issue with playback.Ī few years ago Roku did a firmware update that caused some videos to play 2x faster than normal, while the audio was normal speed.Īnother firmware update (or might have been the same one) caused some videos to play with the wrong aspect ratio. I use emby on my Roku 4660X (Ultra) and other models. The only difference is your receiver will recognize the audio stream as PCM instead of Dolby/DTS. What your ears hear will be exactly the same. Since LPCM is a lossless format, using it will result in no loss of quality. Since Dolby and DTS are both compressed formats, Infuse will first decompress this audio before sending it to your receiver as LPCM (some receivers will display this as PCM, or Multi-Channel). Why isn't my receiver recognizing the audio as Dolby or DTS? This will provide the highest possible audio quality, and will adjust automatically to a wide array of audio system types. Keeping the Apple TV set to Auto is recommended. My movies have Dolby or DTS audio - which settings should I use? LPCM is an uncompressed, lossless format which on the Apple TV supports up to 7.1 channels of 24-bit, 48KHz audio. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA are lossless audio formats that provide greater depth and dynamic range when compared to normal Dolby (AC3) and DTS audio.
