No metadata from Jellyfin and no audio from E-AC3

[Deleted]

I can't get any metadata from Jellyfin other then time length but no descriptions but using Plex as the source the information is there.

The second issue is any video encoded with E-AC3 it won't play the audio, its the same if I use Jellyfin or Plex as the source. I'm currently using DizqueTV with Tivimate but DizqueTV only works with Plex and I really hate Plex. When I use the native Android apps for Jellyfin and Plex the audio plays fine, I'm running a Nvidia Shield Pro 2019.

When I checked out your app a year and half ago I did not like the EPG layout and Jellyfin support had not been added yet. I was cleaning up my bookmarks yesterday so I thought I'd have a look at your progress and noticed you switched to using a standard EPG and have added Jellyfin support. I would be willing to pay for the unlimited channel creating so then I can delete crappy Plex but having these issues its useless to switch.

eac3 support is dependent on the device. turn off force transcoding and it will transcode to a compatible format. quasi tv uses exoplayer for video playback.. so its mostly out of my control on what is supported.. my code can just say whether to transcode or not

what version of jellyfin are you using? i've had no issues with jellyfin the last time i tested it (its also what i use as my test server that amazon verifies the app with.. and they are pretty strict)

nm about jellyfin. just loaded up a chromecast and connected to my test server and its not showing descriptions. i'll look into it

edit: assuming by "metadata", you mean the guide descriptions. The rest of the metadata seems fine to me

I'm running Jellyfin 10.7.7 stable running on MacOS 10.15.7 and yes when I say metadata I'm referring to descriptions

I fixed the audio issue, I'm living at a temporary location and my surround system is in storage so I'm just running stereo speakers hooked up to a 4-2 matrix switcher that is setup to output PCM audio over the headphone jack

To fix it on the shield incase someone else has this problem
Go to Settings>Device Preferences>Display & Sound>Advanced sound settings turn off Dolby audio processing then go into Available formats and select None: Never use surround sound

okay fixed the descriptions. Will push an update today

The descriptions are working now but my audio problem is back don't know why I changed nothing other then updating your app but I'll buy your app and hope I can get the audio problem worked out again

[GoneMAD]

weird.. only change was fixing the retrieval of the descriptions (no undocumented changes)
