Hello everyone, I have a small problem with the transcoding of videos. I have often had problems with videos not running smoothly or not running at all when Emby was running directly on an Acer H340. So I thought I'd try a mini PC hosting the Emby server and connected to the NAS (all via cable). Now when I start a 4K movie with Dolby Atmos directly on the TV, I see that the video is transcoded, but it doesn't run smoothly. If I start the same video on an XBox Series X, it is also transcoded, but the audio track. Is it possible to set Emby so that the audio track is not transcoded? Or how can I tell that Emby wants to transcode the Dolby Atmos track? The Xbox (and according to the data sheet and settings also the TV) should actually be able to do this.

Took me a while to figure this out. Hope this helps others. I moved from Finland to Spain. Network in my new place was not what I was used to. Most of my 4K media became unwatchable. Turns out that some years back I had manually adapted my network speed settings in emby and now that network nolonger had 10Gbit connectivity my larger files did not play well. If you are suffering from similar issues check emby APP settings. (Up right corner.)

So, i want to buy the premium subsricption but first of course i test the Emby Theatre on my Xbox One X. And it is working execpt one function. There is no 4k HEVC direct play and of course because of that there is no HDR. I don't know what's wrong but my server Transcoding any 4K HEVC file because : The Video resolution is not supported. But why? Can anyone help me please? I attached my log files. Thanks. LOG1.txt LOG2.txt LOG3.txt LOG4.txt

Just a little feedback on my initial experiments with 4K playback using the Emby LG app. I'm finding some 4K content works and some doesn't. 'Sully' 4K for instance will not play on the Emby LG App. It will play on the LG Plex app. Same results for 'Jigsaw' and 'It'. I'm playing UHD rips from my 4K blu-rays made using makemkv. That being said, where files do play I am noticing quality degradation. 'Argo' for instance streamed via the LG app looks terrible (however the server does say it's direct playing). 'Argo' streamed via DNLA to my UHD blu-ray player looks far, far better and as per the disc. So as it stands, if I want to watch 4K rips using Emby, the LG app is not up to the job. This may in part also be due to the TV itself. DNLA to the TV also results in reduced quality (however all files do manage to at least play, same as Plex). There could also be bandwidth issues involved. The LG TV does not have a gigabit LAN port. To sum up, the only way for me to get the true 4K (exactly as per the disc) is to stream using my phone or iPad via DNLA to my Oppo UDP203 and then HDMI into the TV. TL:DN Emby LG app plays some 4K (albeit in reduced quality. Plex LG app plays all 4K (albeit in reduced quality).

Poster Overlay GUI A simple Windows Forms application that allows users to add 4K Ultra HD Banners to their movie posters. About: Firstly, I know that we have the coverart plugin but I prefer having a cleaner look with multiple options for my 4k library. I started making this app a few weeks ago with absolutely zero knowledge in coding, this entire project was built through using chatgpt to guide me into building, modifying and editing the code through lots of trial and error. I'm more than open to suggestions to improve and or add to the project (such as more banner options etc). Features: Choose from multiple overlay images (4k Ultra HD, with HDR, with DV, With HDR and IMAX and with DV and Imax) Preview the combined result Save the resulting image as a new file How to Use: Download and extract the PosterOverlay_v1.0.0.zip file from github. Run the PosterOverlay.exe file to launch the application. Click on the "Select Poster" button to choose the base image (poster). Use the dropdown box to select an overlay image. Preview the result in the main window. Click "Save Poster" to save the resulting image to your computer. Prerequisites: .NET 6.0 Runtime is required to run the application. Please download and install the appropriate version for your operating system. GitHub Link: https://github.com/pejamas/Poster-Overlay-GUI

Learning the new ropes with 4K content - am experienced with SD / HD content. Successfully coded 12 Monkeys using HEVC-10 (NvEnc - nice and fast) at CQ 20 into MKV container, then put into Emby server. Server finds it no problem. Emby app on LG TV consistently freezes with original passthru DTS track, but is fine with a transcoded DTS>AC3 track. OK - that's not a problem, I can just transcode audio while doing the main compression. Emby LG app correctly identifies UHD HDR content for playback - shows correct colouring (more or less). Plays fine (other than DTS glitch). Emby Theatre on Win10 plays back with the DTS fine - but it's obviously a completely different gamut. Snow scenes are very dark blue rather than pale blue hue as per separate FHD BD copy or LG playback of new UHD HDR version). Emby Theatre Win10 doesn't seem to pick up that it's HDR and handle correctly... am I missing something? Is there a way to tell Theatre Desktop to handle HDR content by tonemapping?

Hi, is there any way to transcode 4k movies with HDR and keep the 10bit colours for HDR? my friend is using an 65c9 oled it can play 4k movies without a problem as long as the bitrate is not higher as my upload. Some movies especialle with a lot of film grain exceed my upload limit by a lot. I have a ryzen 9 3900x without a graphicscard for transcoding so that should be enough for one 10 bit transcode (i dont know exactly if ffmpeg is able to transcode 10 bit h264 or if it needs h265, then i am willing to buy a entry level quadro card if nesessary) At the moment i am using handbrake rf 20 on all 4k movies. If Transcoding doesnt work an is not expected to work in the near future i have to reencode some movies in lower quality. I am using the official Emby Docker Container on an Unraid Server. Thanks for your help.

Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème avec les contenu en 4K dont la lecture est très saccadée avec Emby Theater seulement. La lecture avec VLC ou Kodi est parfaitement fluide. Testé avec emby theater 3.0.15 sur Ubuntu 20.04 et sur Windows 10 et avec plusieurs contenus en 4K. Je précise que la lecture est en lecture direct, donc sans transcodage. Je joins les logs du serveur. Merci pour votre aide. Cordialement, Mick PS : Version du serveur : 4.6.4.0 embyserver.txt

Help Understanding 2 Log Messages About Disabled NVIDIA Card
Major_Minor posted a topic in General/Windows
Hi, (Using Emby Premiere) Im struggling to play UHD titles with PGS graphics because my Emby server appears to be struggling with transcoding. This surprises me at many levels because 1) I have an NVidia Quadro card 2) I have a Dual XEON CPU 16 core proc server with 96GB ram DEDICATED to playing 1 STREAM. Not 100 streams. 1 Stream Whenever I enable subtitles, its GAME OVER. Stuttering occurs every 15 seconds for 15 seconds. Its not even minimal stuttering. User Experience is deplorable. When I looked into the log file, I noticed a couple of seemingly important messages which leave me bewildered. I was hoping someone could help out. Message #1: Warning: Hardware-accelerated subtitle-overlay is disabled due to diagnostic option Message #2: Checking: 'NVDEC Quadro M2000 - H.265 (HEVC)'. NoMatch Bitrate (65 Mbit/s) exceeds maximum supported rate (59 Mbit/s) Decoder does not match. (Then proceeds to use software decoder) What HW and/or SW config changes are needed to get a single stream to play correctly I have enclosed the relevant log snippet for detail / context Thanks in advance. emby_log.txt -
Is there a way for the 4k and standard def versions to default combine instead of defaulting to split? They are two folders but in the same library and by default they are creating as split items instead of a grouped version. On this same topic if there is a grouped version of the movies can you still have coverart tag it with 4k if there is a 4k movie in there?

Hey! I've been upgraded some of my media files from 1080p to 4k and I've noticed that if I try to put on subtitles the stream just won't even start. My wife and I watch pretty much everything with subtitles on :D. When I look at the media as it's playing (from my phone) it saying that it's doing some transcoding because of the subtitles. Right now, I don't believe I have ever made any changes to the transcoding in the setup. Any thoughts? ffmpeg-transcode-1768d0b7-c57f-4885-a1df-bf90f7a628bf_1.txt

High Bitrate 4k playback switching to transcode after 2.5 minutes.
nomatches4mikey posted a topic in General/Windows
I'm trying to play UHD video at its native bitrate without re-encoding. It plays fine for about 2.5 minutes, but then the Direct Play stream is interrupted. The server then tries to switch to transcoding, but doesn't have the hardware to convert these files, so the playback is poor. The drive read and network speed is sufficient to support the bitrate, but I'm not sure why the stream is being interrupted. Thanks for looking at this!

Hi all, my setup is as follows: Router: AC 1200 Emby server: Windows 10 (i5 8gb) connected to router via 5 GHz Wi-Fi Client: Emby next-gen on Vero 4k+ connected via 5 GHz Wi-Fi (connected to lg soundbar via hdmi-in which is connected to LG CX via e-arc hdmi) I have mostly stable playback, but sometimes there's the annoying buffering/stuttering for high bit rate files (> 30 Mbps with peaks reaching ~100 Mbps). When I look at the send (upload speeds) on my windows machine I see the speed drops to <20 Mbps (even 10 at times). Is this likely because of interference (there are around 2-3 APs (5 GHz) surrounding me in close by channels (40-80 MHz)? I tried wiring the server/client to the router (router ports capped at 100 Mbps), this is more stable than Wi-Fi mostly, however there's still buffering on high bitrate files (for example on Psycho 4k remux with peaks exceeding 100 Mbps). Can I be sure that Wi-Fi/router is the problem? And would switching to gigabit router (and wiring both client/server) completely solve my problem? I'm attaching a few recent logs for reference. Thanks in advance for any input! embyserver-63783503998.txt embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-c5ea727b-d855-48c5-8134-28cd1f5534ba_1.txt

hi all, i have an premiere account (don't know if without it has any limitation on max quality) i just got new sony bravia 4k android TV and installed emby client. i got to test a movie 4k mp4 and start playing it but i noticed that the server was doing transcoding and cpu was at max. i tried to play same movie on my windows client an no transcoding was required 2160p @ 120mbps i did second test by sending to play to bravia via dlna from emby on my phone (leaving the quality to auto) and it worked directly without transcoding. the tv is cable connected to the network, and emby server is runing as plugin on freenas box. anyone any idea why playing from the emby app in the tv is requiring transcoding??

i've been testing emby for playback of 4k/UHD files. when I play and 4k movie, it stops playback and i get a "loading" every couple of minutes. from the server management gui I see the following: The media is compatible with the device regarding resolution and media type (H.264, AC3, etc.), but is in an incompatible file container (.mkv, .avi, .wmv, etc.). The video will be re-packaged on the fly before streaming it to the device. Is MKV really an incompatible container in emby? This would really be bad for me because most of my 4k media is in an MKV format that I can stream directly to the TV with another media server software. any suggestions that don't require conversion to another file container? Thanks

Hi Emby team im very new to 4K and I have three movies that all stutter and skip when playing in Emby theatre. Mum not sure if it’s my PC or not. I’m running an i5 NIC5i5RYH with 4GB RAM and the specs say it can run 4K on the DisplayPort which I have plugged into my new 4K TV the videos seem to stream ok to my phone. I’m not sure of all the technical setting I need to tweak so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be appreciated ive attached stats for nerds showing a lot of frame dropping.

Since I upgraded my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 to 8.2.3, from Emby my remux (.MKV) for Blu Rays and 4K are no longer playing sound. What’s interesting is even though no sounds are emitted, if I try to turn up the volume my soundbar doesn’t blink like normal, but if I try to turn down the volume it blinks. My DVD remux work fine. It all worked fine prior to upgrading. FYI - I can play the Blu Ray and 4K movies from my Emby app on my HTPC and iPhone just fine. I'm running Emby Server 4.6.2.0 on my Synology NAS 1520+ / DSM 6.2 All streaming services; Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc. are all working as expected. Today, I reset Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 to factory default, configured it and installed Emby, and same results - no improvements! I've attached the server logs in hopes that it can help solve this issue. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this? TIA embyserver-63758534400.txt embyserver.txt

Hello, I already have a Movies library for 1080p content however, I would like to add another Movies library for UHD (4K) content. Currently, if I create another Movies library with the title, UHD Movies, each UHD movie that also has an identically titled counterpart in the original Movies library for 1080p content shares the same play status progress and subsequently, 2 thumbnail images are displayed on the homescreen under the Continue Watching heading. One which is linked to the 1080p movie, and another for the UHD movie. Is there any way to disassociate the movie libraries by creating a library content type for us called 4K Movies or UHD Movies that will contain it's own unique play state information? Or, allow us to name our own content type to create the split which we will also then select it's parent content type from the existing list. Many thanks

Don't know if this is in the right place, or permissible in general, but am wondering about peoples thoughts on 4K stuff. Specifically on your ideas on moves which are really worth buying in 4K as they are enough of an upgrade on 1080 to be worth the price and the storage space. My (extensive) collection consists of the Harry Potter set, the first Alien, Toy Story 4, Gladiator, Mortal Engines, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Skyscraper (it was cheap) and some fan made 4K Star Wars editions. Maybe add Apocalypse Now ?

Hi emby Team, I testet as lot and want to describe a problem in detail that really keeps me away from using the emby app of my LG65OLED C7D. I already know that the emby app encodes all audio tracks that are not the first/default audiotrack of a mkv. But... emby also encodes the first/default audiotrack if this is Dolby TrueHD/Atmos. Why? and that leads to the/my problem: everytime the emby app starts a ffmpeg process to transcode a audio track (for the none default audio track or and thats a much bigger problem... for Dolby TrueHD Tracks) the video begins to stutter... plays for a few seconds than stocks for a few seconds and so on - til the end of the movie :-( ) because many of the 4K remuxes have a Dolby TrueHD/Atmos default track, they are unwatchable via the emby app. 1. the problem is reproducable everytime 2. the problem only exists with 4K material (UHD Remuxes) 3. it's not a problem of hardware limitation of the emby server (CPU is 70% idle, gigabit LAN, HDD...) 4. it doesn't matter what kind of audio is being encoded (Atmos, DTS, DD5.1, DTSMA, DTSHD...) 5. emby dlna plays fine those files because it's playing the files without encoding the audio summarized: audio encoding on 4k remuxes in any way leads to video stuttering! possible solutions: - stop encoding audio tracks other than the default (like DLNA does) or - make TrueHD tracks playable without transcoding (direct play/passthrough) or - fix the problem that causes the video stuttering when transcoding audio in 4K movies any questions? don't hesitate to contact me ;-)

Hello, First of all, I would to apologize if I posted this topic at the wrong community, but as of right now the LG webOS app is the only place I can reproduce this type of files. Also English is not my first language, so I'll try my best to explain the situation. I have an old Windows laptop working as a NAS connected via ethernet to a router, to which my LG B9 is connected also using ethernet cable. I'm using the lastest Emby app on the TV and the server is up-to-date. I am having problems watching 4K HDR remux files stutter free. I tried tonight and it started fine but after a few minutes the stuttering appeared, and it persisted during the whole duration of the movie. I recorded a 20s clip that shows the problem three times. https://youtu.be/9abw44sVW24 It looks like a frame drop in a videogame, the picture freezes and the audio drops very quickly and then come back to normal. I tried to find a pattern, but it seemed random. This is not the first time it happened. The last time the stuttering was way more severe, hanging for seconds, so I ended up just playing the movie locally through USB. It looked more like buffering than stuttering. Could the bitrate be too high, even for ethernet? 1080p works great so far. I would appreciate any help. Best, embyserver.txt

When I try to play my 4K HEVC movies (Remux with MakeMKV) with TrueHD 7.1 on my new Nvidia Shield TV Pro they freeze after the first couple of minutes. When I downgrade the audio to "AC3 5.1" it plays fine. How can I get this to work with TrueHD 7.1?

Bonjour à tous, Je viens à vous car j'ai pas mal de soucis de lecture vidéo avec l'application Emby sous AndroidTV. Ces problèmes concernent quasi exclusivement des gros mkv en 4k HDR, c'est à dire que la lecture commence normalement et après 2-3 minutes l'image saccade énormément (pas toujours au même moment), coupe et bien souvent revient mais sans HDR. Et quand je me rend sur mon serveur Emby (c'est un docker sous Unraid) je m’aperçois que le transcodage s'est activé tout seul. C'est d'autant plus étrange que quand je lis ces mêmes fichiers via Kodi ou VLC il n'y a aucuns soucis à signaler, le lecture se passe normalement. Que faire ? Edit 1: Je viens de faire un test rapide avec Plex (toujours en docker sous Unraid) et comme pour Kodi, lecture impeccable ... Edit 2: Avec Jellyfin, RAS aussi ça tourne nickel.
