I have an old show encoded in XVID inside AVI containers. When I DirectPlay them on a device that supports AVI/XVID, they play fine, but if transcoding kicks in then the video turns into a garbled pixelated mess with tons of macroblocking. The audio sounds fine. This happens on all devices when transcoding. Here are the transcoding logs: ffmpeg-transcode-13c2ec0e-ff80-4827-b534-fd0bcc046eea.txt ffmpeg-transcode-fc23c1d9-8a80-4821-b2ec-1c32e92785c8.txt Media Info for the file: Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave File size : 232 MiB Duration : 24 min 42 s Overall bit rate : 1 311 kb/s Writing library : VirtualDub build 13720/release Video ID : 0 Format : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile : Advanced Simple@L5 Format settings : BVOP2 / GMC3 Format settings, BVOP : 2 Format settings, QPel : No Format settings, GMC : 3 warppoints Format settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) Muxing mode : Packed bitstream Codec ID : XVID Codec ID/Hint : XviD Duration : 24 min 42 s Bit rate : 1 173 kb/s Width : 640 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate : 23.976 (23976/1000) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.159 Stream size : 207 MiB (90%) Writing library : XviD 1.0.2 (UTC 2004-08-29) Audio ID : 1 Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 3 Format settings : Joint stereo / MS Stereo Mode : Joint stereo Mode extension : MS Stereo Codec ID : 55 Codec ID/Hint : MP3 Duration : 24 min 42 s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 128 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Compression mode : Lossy Delay relative to video : 3 s 3 ms Stream size : 22.6 MiB (10%) Alignment : Split accross interleaves Interleave, duration : 42 ms (1.00 video frame) Interleave, preload duratio : 500 ms Writing library : LAME3.95

Evening all, I'm basically looking for an answer to the title - Direct play XviD and transcode DivX. Possible? It seems I'm only allowed to specify "mpeg4" in the DLNA profiles so my server has to unnecessarily transcode Xvid videos. If this isn't possible, could I request that this be something to consider in a future release? I'm running version 3.0.5821.0 on Windows. Thanks very much!

Hi, I have a series of mkv files containing DivX video and AC3 audio streams. Emby's web interface plays them nicely but on Roku 3 I see no image - only sound is played. I understand Roku will not play the DivX stream but it seems Emby does not transcode on this scenario. Should I post log files or is this already known? Thanks,
