Hello I am not able to user H265 HEVC Decoder of the RK3568 while running in Docker on Armbian. is there any chance to get it working? What should I add to Docker Compose YAML File to make it work? I see only ARM V4L2 H.264 for H264 as Hardware Decoder in the system settings for transcoding. According to specs this CPU ist H265 capable.. 1.2.7 Video CODEC  Video Decoder  H.265 HEVC/MVC Main10 Profile yuv420@L5.1 up to 4096x2304@60fp Found in this Spec Sheet: . (radxa.com)

Setup: Ubuntu server running 4.7.13.0 (same issue with 4.7.12.0) Client is Emby for android TV 2.0.80g registered Hardwired gigabit network between server and client Issue: Playback of 4K HDR content buffers, was not the case in servers <=4.7.12.0 Server indicates "Reducing bitrate due to quality setting" and is transcoding. My rig can't handle transcoding. Expect: No transcoding, direct playback Tested: Forcing Max Streaming Bitrate in the client, Auto or maximum speed settings -> no change Set client connecting to http instead of https -> no change Basically all my HDR playback is broken at this moment. Please help me which log files to send to fix this issue Thanks

Hello! I have several libraries with content to which I've been applying conversions to hevc/aac. The libraries are a mix of H264 content and hevc/H265 content. Up to now I've been manually evaluating each entry in the library before creating a new conversion task. However, it's pretty tedious. Does anyone know if it's possible to create a conversion task that will only convert content that is not already hevc/aac encoded? The options I am selecting are replace original, custom, mkv, hevc, aac, original quality. However, if the content is already hevc/aac encoded it looks like the task is still copying the data to a new container. The objective is to standardize the content format in my libraries to hevc/aac. Once the conversions are all complete I'll create a standing conversion task for each library to automatically convert new content. I appreciate any thoughts. Maybe I'm just doing something silly. As a side question, not super important, but I'm curious: one instance so far the original data was H264 encoded at 1 Mbps and the conversion to H265 increased the bitrate to 2 Mbps (same options selected as above), resulting in an overall increase in file size. I was able to correct it by modifying and performing the conversion job again. Can anyone point me to documentation that explains how the selection process for "original quality" works? I work with APIs day in and out at my day job so I've been toying with maybe writing some logic to automate submitting conversion tasks if nothing else.

Buenas tardes, He estado tratando de escribir un comando de ffmpeg para transcodificar los videos mp4 H264 que no son compatibles con TV LG ya que al tratar de reproducir algunas peliculas directamente me genera un error que el formato no es compatible con el TV y si habilito la transcodificación no me funciona debido a que tengo instalado Emby Server en una Raspberry PI 4 de 2GB de RAM entonces he decidido transcodificación a mano yo mismo los videos que no sean compatibles para que trasmitir directamente al TV tras muchos intentos me ha funcinado el siguiente comando: ffmpeg -i "Pelicula.mp4" -vf "scale=2*trunc(iw/2):-2,setsar=1" -profile:v main -pix_fmt yuv420p "Pelicula (2020).mp4" Pero tengo un problema y es que esta pelicula tiene varios canales de audio en Español, Ingles y al ejecutar el comando me deja solo el audio en ingles y pierdo el Español y necesito que me deje todos los canales de audio alguien me puede ayudar a identificar como debe quedar el comando para que deje todos los canales de audio y genere el archivo ya transcodificado Al ejecutar el comando: mediainfo "Pelicula.mp4" General Complete name : Pelicula.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile :

Hey guys @@softworkz, Currently I am having issues playing media on devices which need transcoding to play the file. E.g my Oneplus 5T phone manages to direct play x265 encoded files and Emby works like a charm for that device. However when I try to watch on a notebook or PC which needs to transcode the x265 into x264 the video never starts or just stops after a few seconds. I restarted the emby server and the whole windows server multiple times but that does not solve the problem. I attached the server logs for you. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-ee2800e7-7a19-4344-b5ba-a7306af79f88_1.txt

Hi, I have my Emby Server (4.3.0.30) set up on a QNAP TS431P and am accessing it via the Emby WebApp (Chrome). I have noticed that some of my H265 content is acting up and lagging. As far as I can tell this has to do with Chrome not supporting the codec. Playing the file via Edge seems to work better but there is still considerable lag. Playing the file on my AppleTV (through Emby) as well as using VLC to play directly from the server (with Windows) both works without any issues or lag. I am assuming that's when the local hardware kicks in as compared to my NAS and/or Chrome restrictions. Is that assumption correct? So I am thinking about getting a Premiere subscription in order to get the Emby desktop applications, assuming that this will my laptop do the "heavy" lifting. Can I expect that this would resolve my issues of having laggy HEVC playback? Please let me know if you need any other information - looking forward to your feedback!

I'm considering to create an h265 version of my movies for remote streaming that allows a decent quality with a low bitrate, However there is a potential problem if the client can't direct play the video stream and the server transcode from a h265 version, that could potentially overload my server with multiple streams. My request is to have an option to disable transcoding for h265 codec, so if the client can't direct play the stream the server switch to transcode the h264 file. I know that Emby choose the better version to play but if the user manually selected the h265 version the server will transcode that version.

Like the title i can seem to get the hevc encoder to appear on the list. I use the last version of arch linux (4.19.8-arch1-1-ARCH) with the last beta of emby (3.6.0.81) I've already installed intel-media-driver but it just won't appear

Hello emby team, Thank you so much for an awesome product. I left Plex a few years ago and have never looked back again. My main clients until rather recently have been x2 Minix Android devices running Emby for Android TV. These have been playing all of my content (besides H264 High 10) without any need for transcoding of the video stream. However since I swapped them out for Apple TV units it seems that all of my media requires transcoding. My initial concern regarding this was my h265 content but unless I am reading the logs incorrectly it would seem that even h264 content is being run through ffmpeg. In the H264 sample I've attached, the subtitle is not supported by the apple TV unit but it would seem that in addition to this the server is recoding the video stream as well? Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> h264 (libx264)) Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy) Also for your information. Regarding the h265 content, I have run some tests with ffmpeg rewriting the tag with "-tag:v hvc1". This has allowed me to stream the files through iTunes (In mp4 format). Server & Client versions Emby: 3.2.70.0 Server: Debian 3.16.51-3+deb8u1 Client: Apple TV 4K - tvOS 11.2.5 Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

Hi gott a question about the built in vlc. what's the differens to use it and disable it? Because if its enabled it cant play dvd in h265 (hevc) but it works for the most part in Blu-ray h265. (hevc) If i disable it its no problem playing dvd or bluray. so what's the differens between the different players? the hardware being used is remix mini /Regards

I have used ffdshow for years with emby...I have my remote programmed to utilize it for subtitles, etc. Now with h265 getting more prevalent, I am beginning to have and more shows that are h265 and thus I can't play them. Is there an easy way to get h265 to play given that I use ffdshow or do I have to move to LAV or some other codec and go through that whole pita, break my remote function, etc.? Thanks.

Do we have a ETA on being able to playback h.265 in the web clinet and if needed transcode? It works fine on anything that is using the LAV codec (MBC, etc..), but it would be really good if MBS would be able to playback h.265 natively and transcode if and when needed. I realize there is not a lot of hardware decoding support yet (Although new NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU support it now), anf I play back using the software decoder (my I5 climbing to 45% so very doable) I just been converting some of my 3D movies and it really is as good as they say. downsized by 54% on average using the exact same settings with h.264 vs h.265.
