Pancho 9 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Server Version 3.0.6400.0 (runs on Unraid 6.1.9 Docker) Nvidia Shield TV (6.0 SW version 3.2) Android TV Beta (1.2.42g) I updated to the latest ATV beta last night (1.2.42g) along with the latest server upgrade and I have noticed that various movies on my NAS are now transcoding on my ShieldTV (using the built-in player - I am NOT using external players). For example (chosen at random): Captain America - Winter Soldier - Direct Play The Finest Hours - Transcodes HardCore Henry - Transcodes Man Of Steel - Direct Play Kung Fu Panda 3 - Transcodes I can play the exact same movies on my android phone or Emby Theater, and all direct play as expected. I own 2 Nvidia Shield TV's both on the 1.2.42g app (one wired, the other using wireless 5ghz), and I see the same transcoding movies on the wired unit. Spot checking the server log I am seeing 'Unknown Profile' on the transcoding files: 2016-08-30 11:14:49.5336 Info App: Profile: Android, Path: \\MEDIATOWER\MEDIA\MOVIES\SUPERMAN COLLECTION [boxset]\MAN OF STEEL\Man Of Steel.mkv, isEligibleForDirectPlay: True, isEligibleForDirectStream: True 2016-08-30 11:29:52.4774 Info App: Profile: Unknown Profile, Path: \\MEDIATOWER\MEDIA\MOVIES\THE FINEST HOURS\The Finest Hours.mkv, isEligibleForDirectPlay: True, isEligibleForDirectStream: True Attached are server/transcode logs. Any ideas? Thanks.

Luke 37046 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This isn't a transcode, it's simply converting the audio while leaving the rest intact. I noticed one of them is DTS audio. Does your setup support that and is it enabled in the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho 9 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Luke, Yes my hardware does support DTS bitstreaming, and I do have it checked in the App. After looking into the DTS issue further, I believe I see where the issues lies. If a DTS movie uses the DTS codec, the audio will transcodes/convert instead of direct play. If the DTS movie uses the DCA codec, it direct plays without issue. Is that a change that can be made on the server end or client to direct play the DTS codec? Pancho Edited August 30, 2016 by Pancho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yes this is something we've started seeing recently where sometimes it gets reported as dca, and other times dts. So we'll have to adjust the app to handle that. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
