VVC / H.266 Support

[OnyxUK 83]

Hey, Just a quick question of VVC Codec (H.266) to see if this will be support by emby once they have released it fully to the public.

VVC was released at the end of 2020 for testing on OTT companies etc and hopefully should be releasing it to the public domain fairly soon. of course there soon may be 2 years but would just like to ask if its something that is possible.

EDIT :

If you would also like to have this improvement/feature please give a like on this post so that the devs can see how much/little demand it currently has Thanks guys

Hi, yes if it gains traction and popularity then I'm sure we'll end up supporting it.

Now you can use FFMEPG 7.1 to encode / decode vvc1

ffmeg -i input.mp4  -c:v vvc testvvc.mp4

Media Player Classic now decode vvc1

Today, does Emby support H.266 (libvvenc in ffmpeg speak) video codec?
If so, do all Emby clients?

Hi, to be honest, I'm not sure it's been tested, but if livvenc happens to be in our ffmpeg build, then there's a chance it will just work.

If it isn't, then we can look at adding it in our next ffmpeg update.
