>new Roku update 15.2.4 and up breaks any file that uses AAC 5.1 audio, which is very common on pirated copies of movies that were encoded to have lower bitrate audio and video, in favor of standard formats like AC3, DTS, etc used for streaming services native to Roku>users report all these files have no audio when you try to use them on Plex, Emby, Jellyfin for Roku>users accuse Roku of breaking multichannel AAC to curb piracy on their streaming players>there is no workaround to this because any player on Roku has to use Roku-exclusive hardware decoding to play anything. There is no software decoding allowed in any app. https://www.reddit.com/r/Roku/comments/1sqfikv/no_audio_on_video_files_on_roku_ultra_after/Stop using Roku you idiots!They are pulling an Amazon with their closed source OS!
Just capture the audio at the analog out.
>>109435019Shut the fuck up you illiterate retard.Literally from your dumbass Reddit post, pic related.Youre either a dumbass/chinese or a shill
>>109435042>Literally from your dumbass Reddit post, pic related.He's got the old version of the firmware you idiot. 15.2.4 and up is affected. He is using 14.x
>>109435019>There is no software decoding allowed in any apphow do they detect when an app is using software decoding
>>109435019Is this like for roku tvs or something?Whats roku?
>>109435073When it attempts to output audio without going through any of the hardware-decoding codec sinks.
>>109435073>how do they detect when an app is using software decodingSoftware decoding doesn't exist in Roku apps. Look it up. They need to use the Roku hardware decode to work.
>>109435096Looks like they use a custom Linux-based OS, in which case they can just pull the plug on AAC since nothing streaming uses it.>>109435082Spotted the eurofag.
>>109435082>Is this like for roku tvs or something?all roku devices with that update
>>109435085>>109435096So what happens if a media player just re-encodes the audio into a format which it can hardware decode, and then feed that into the hardware decoder
>>109435019does Roku not have the ability to send audio out pass-thru, like to have a receiver do the decoding?
>>109435144>So what happens if a media player just re-encodes the audio into a format which it can hardware decode, and then feed that into the hardware decoderYep, you have to transcode first now. Before, you didn't need to do that. Roku broke it.
>>109435189it does
Didin't SONY do use like 15 years ago with CINAVIA? Like the PS3 literally wouldn't let you play pirated movie files at all.
>>109435031That has no relevance to this discussion and was the most retarded possible response.
>>109436550Every device with a blu-ray drive in it still has that btw.
>>109436550this is coming to roku
