wp.rauchholz 5 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I run latest emby-server on a CENTOS 7 home server I access the server from my CENTOS 7 laptop. I can stream live TV from my iphone, but not from my CENTOS laptop. I see the error message: Program data path: /var/lib/emby Application directory: /opt/emby-server/system System.Exception: System.Exception: No video encoder found for 'vp8' >>>>>> FindVideoDecoder - MediaType: h264, Mode: 2 Info FindVideoDecoder - Checking: 'VAAPI HD Graphics 530 - H.264 (AVC)' (Priority: 100) Info FindVideoDecoder - Check successful - selecting 'VAAPI HD Graphics 530 - H.264 (AVC)' >>>>>> FindVideoEncoder - Media: vp8, UseHardwareCodecs: True, Mode: 2 Which program do I need to install to get the missing encoder?

Luke 37010 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi, this is firefox, right? On Linux it does not ship with h264 support so we transcode to vp8, however it looks like our CentOS ffmpeg build is missing this encoder. We are resolving this for the next release. In the meantime you could use a different browser such as Chrome, or install h264 support into your browser. The instructions on how to do that will vary per distro, but this might help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-h264-plugin-firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkm00n 0 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I have the same problem but the setup is different : Server : Debian 10 (Buster) Client : Windows 10 (not linux) Firefox Browser with H264 coded activated https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/75563-firefox-error-no-video-encoder-found-for-vp8/ maybe one thing : the library name for vp8 on Buster is now : libvpx5 (Debian 10) .. it was libvpx4 on Stretch (Debian 9) Regards DM Edited July 19, 2019 by darkm00n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
