Luke 37022 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not yet. Do you have any plain mp4's that don't require transcoding, and if so, do they play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigverm23 2 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 just an update on this...my issues at the time were involving Firefox as the web browser on Ubuntu 19. I have since tried Chrome and the files play without issue...any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Anyway i believe this is the issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/389437/how-do-i-get-html5-h-264-video-working-on-firefox Firefox on linux does not include h264 support. We need to improve our handling of this and fallback to webm in this situation. That used to work but recent changes seem to have caused a regression there.

Luke 37022 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 @@bigverm23, Emby Server 4.1.1 resolves this by realizing when h264 support is not included by the browser. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The server has no media info for this file. A common cause of this would be that you're trying to play before the initial library scan has completed.
