The app is available for free and you can even share your media files with your friends and family. Compared to other media servers, it has advanced features. Emby organizes all your media content by providing elegant displays like graphics, rich metadata, etc. It is very similar to Plex Media Player where you can use it to stream your personal media files. Connecting the LG TV directly to the ARC or eARC enabled Receiver/Soundbar will only work for compressed Audio (DD,DD+), it will not work for HD Audio without Emby transcoding the streams.Emby is the media player that brings together videos, music, and photos and streams them to your device. (*) Note the soundbar/receiver must have an HDMI passthough interface. If your LG TV does not have eARC, then you can pass the HD Audio to your Receiver or Soundbar(*) directly by means of an External Player. If your LG TV is year 2019+ and has eARC, then you can pass the HD Audio to your Receiver or Soundbar by means of an External Player via the TV eARC HDMI Interface. So in summary, you have two options to play HD Audio Dolby Atmos – Option 1

Unfortunately, no firmware update can ever fix this, as the physical hardware ‘link’ is missing – a massive oversight from LG on even their newest 2020 TV’s. As the Audio from the Emby LG Client is being generated ‘internally’ in the TV, then the hardware to use eARC is simply not available. On 2019 Models and later, the TV Hardware supports eARC but only from External Sources NOT the TV itself.
This only works over HDMI and importantly both the TV Hardware, TV Software/Firmware and Amplifier must all support eARC. Streaming services/Internal LG Emby Client will use the ARC interface to pass DD+ Atmos (compressed) to a soundbar or Receiver without issue.įor HD Audio however, a new standard was introduced called ‘eARC’ or Extended ARC. This was great for DD/DD+/DTS compressed sound, but it was never designed for uncompressed sound as the hardware was not available.
This was originally via Optical or Co-Ax cable but these days it’s via HDMI. How can I get Emby to play Atmos using my Sound Bar or AV Receiver?Īs most people connected their DVD/Blu-Ray Player directly to the TV itself, a standard called ARC (Audio Return Channel) was introduced to pass the Audio back FROM the TV to the external amplifier.

Generally, these are ‘height’ speakers that give you the full 360 degrees experience.Ītmos data can be applied to both Compressed Audio (in the form of Dolby Digital PLUS – EAC3) and HD Audio in the form of True-HD (THD). Where does Atmos come in?ĭolby Atmos is a technology where the sound is given additional data to allow it to use extra positional speakers that you may have as part of your AV Sound setup. ‘Rips’ of this physical media may contain the HD Audio streams, the result is a technical scenario that was outside the scope of the original LG architecture design. There are two primary types of Audio that can be played with Media files –Ĭompressed Audio (ie AC3/AAC/DTS Core etc) and Uncompressed (or HD) Audio (ie True-HD, DTS-HD etc)Ĭompressed Audio uses a lot less data (bitrate) and thus is used for streaming services such as Netflix while HD Uncompressed Audio is the primary audio on ‘physical’ media such as Blu-Ray or Ultra HD Blu-Ray disks because they have much more capacity to store the data. Why does the Emby App for my LG TV not play the Dolby Atmos TrueHD Audio without Transcoding?
