insanengineer 0 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 My setup is a Sony Bravia XBR-55X810C connected via Ethernet. I have my Emby server on my Synology DS415+. My issue is that the Emby server is transcoding when it should direct play my mkv files. According to Sony the built in player supports mkv files. https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/XBR55X810C_mksp.pdf. Am I missing something or is this an issue?

insanengineer 0 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 I just tried using the builtin video player and using DLNA with the Emby server it plays just fine @1080p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Okay, then let's start with a specific example as "mkv" files can contain a very wide variety of actual video/audio. Please turn on the debug options in the settings for the app and then go play one of these items for a few seconds and then back out to the home screen and press the "Send Log" button on the bottom row. Then come back here and please post : the name of the item you played the name of the Emby user that was logged on the approximate time you did this the media info as displayed by the web client for one of these items the transcode or remux or direct-stream log that is produced while playing back this item Thanks.
