Question About My Firefox Installation

[lushLi2ard60 0]

Hello all!

I noticed this morning an issue with some movies on Firefox, I can't skip of fast forward them from Chrome on Linux.

After some investigation, I noticed that it happens with movies that gets converted to VPX codec by the server. If I watch the movies from the Android app, it works just fine as the server delivers it in h264. It also works just fine with Chrome based browser (as it doesn't use that VPX codec).

Here is what I tried:

• Disabled subtitles
• Metadata refresh
• Changed resolution
• Disabled HTTP/2 & CSP
• Restarted Emby Server

No matter what I tried, it is still being delivered to my Chrome client in VPX and I think that is the issue. It is happening on all the files with a "Container not supported".

Server config:

• Emby 4.6.4.0 in docker

 

I attached logs of the same movie played in Emby for Android and Emby Web with debugging turned on. I also attached screenshots of the "Stats for nerds" on that same movie for both clients.

Thanks!

Hi, your firefox installation is probably not including h264 support, so that's why. I know that on some linux distros they don't include and it's up to you to add it.

Hello guys,

Sorry for the late reply, I was able to fix it using the above thanks to Luke. I use OpenSuse
