Hi guys,
wish you a Happy New Year!
I am evaluating Emby as an alternative to my Vero4k/Kodi for playback of MCH and Atmos Music at the moment. As I have no Nvidia Shield yet (I assume it is the ideal playback device for this purpose?) and don't wanna buy before being sure that the following requirements are met so I am asking to share your experiences.
My MCH albums are stored as FLAC files (individual files per track), my Atmos albums are stored as single mka files accompanied by CUE file. With vero4k this plays gapless for both. Gapless play is a manadatory requirement for me and I already noticed that Emby has weakness in that - plays gapless only with a few clients (e.g. the Androis app, but not the Android TV app nor does the iOS app). Hence, wondering if it was able to play my albums gapless on a Shield. The single mka file is scanned by Emby and playable, however, the CUE file is ignored so no tracks shown. I could convert these albums to individual m4a files but unsure if they would play gapless.
Is anybody using Emby for playing MCH/Atmos albums who could tell if this is working or not? Also, any alternative to the Shield? E.g. the Zidoo ZX9 Pro?
Thanks for your help!
