Rianscott 1 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Would it be possible to have an option to force direct play for live TV and for recordings. (I believe mainly for UK users). Emby always wants to transcode many of the live TV channels and their recording due to the interlace . I can select external player and play the stream as direct play but emby native player always wants to transcode on Android. I would just like an option so I don't have to wait 40 seconds to watch specific channels or recordings from those channels.. Thanks in advance Edited October 23, 2021 by Rianscott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1004 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The option is already available in Android TV. Just enable Direct Play for ts files in Playback. If you set it to direct play though, you won't be able to seek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rianscott 1 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks for that but I meant to mention I'm using the Android app on a tablet and phone. This is where I would like the feature. If it's available on Android TV then would it be possible to migrate it to the Android app for phones and tablets? Thanks for your suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked this before because I have the opposite problem when watching on my Android phone. It automatically direct plays for me and I can't seek. @Luke This has been requested previously, but can you please add the toggle for "direct play ts" that is in @ebr's Android TV app?

Luke 36886 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It's possible for the future. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I'm wondering about direct playing active recordings. Currently the container has to be remuxed although direct play and direct play ts files are enabled. Is this expected behavior? Shield Tube, Android TV Beta.

Luke 36886 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi. Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yes it is direct playing there, thanks! Hopefully you‘ll get seeking to work there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
