Sammy 739 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 My ShieldTV has started to always transcode LiveTV making CC's not work I sent a couple of Logs under user TVTime at 5:46 and 5:50 am PST and here's the server and transcode logs. Looking at User Sessions, it is showing it is connected remotely but my ShieldTV shows up on my router at a local address. ffmpeg-transcode-c.txt ffmpeg-transcode-b.txt ffmpeg-transcode-a.txt Emby Server.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37242 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi, try configuring the quality setting in the app. Looks like it's transcoding based on how you've configured it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 739 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 @Luke I have my ShieldTV set with the exact same settings as my MiBox s', which remux and display CC's just fine, but for whatever reason it is Transcoding LiveTV. I'm also noticing that in the Emby User Sessions it is showing that it is connected to my WAN IP address even though the ShieldTV itself is connected to my LAN with a local IP address. I think Emby Server thinks it is a remote connection and therefore is enforcing bit rate restrictions and transcoding the stream. Is there anything else I need to check out?

Yep, that sounds like a likely cause. 1 hour ago, Sammy said: Is there anything else I need to check out? Make sure something isn't blocking the device from accessing via the local IP. Try manually entering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4330 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) It's also worth checking the Network settings in the server - as Emby doesn't always correctly identify RFC 1918 addresses. In my case, I need to explicitly add the two VLAN's I want emby to consider local - but these are both RFC 1918 (192.168.0.0/16) so it should work - but does not...

I'll check into this but other devices on the LAN are recognized as local; only the ShieldTV is showing as remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd - maybe it is using a 'Guest Wifi' or something different about it's local IP vs the other clients ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoff80 87 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I just noticed last night, after literally 10 months of having a UDMP set up with multiple VLANs, that my setup has been doing the same thing that whole time. (My Shields are on my IoT VLAN, the server is on my main VLAN). Added the LAN networks as mentioned above and of course it works properly now.

I don't know what is going on here. The ShieldTV itself says it is on the LAN at the same local IP address but in User Sessions on the Emby Server it shows it is on the WAN with the public IP address of my modem showing.

What happens if you switch server and manually enter the local address of the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
