SamES 890 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So I've tried HEVC on E-Series and I get a render error. If I try through DLNA it fails with a video codec error. Therefore, I expect we need to disable HEVC for E-series to force transcoding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I think the only ones that support H265 are H-series devices and SEK2000+ Evokits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcg 874 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 That's exactly how we have it already. Only H (or equivilent) has HEVC/H.265 support. Everything else transcodes. Works for me (F-Series) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me (F-Series) That's interesting, I'm sure this one tried to DirectPlay, no Transcoding http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35648-beta-220/page-6&do=findComment&comment=344892 I'll have to dig a bit deeper.

SamES 890 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Ok, you're right, it is transcoding Looks like ffmpeg is falling over. If I run the ffmpeg command from the server log file directly in a cmd window I get this error on the last line [dca @ 00000000006448a0] The encoder 'dca' is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it. if I add -strict -2 before the 'dca' options, then I get this error before it fails [dca @ 000000000253c520] Specified channel layout '5.1' is not supported Maybe when ffmpeg gets another upgrade.

SamES 890 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 So I've just finished building a new server and decided to do a fresh install of Emby beta, new databases, etc. It was interesting to note that the installer now prompts you to manually download and install ffmpeg (not sure how long ago this changed) I downloaded the 64-bit static build from the recommended source (by the installer) and my HEVC Transcoding problems are solved.
