Bobby121418 10 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hi, Since the last update I am finding some issues and instabilities with Emby on LG SmartTv. The current Emby version installed is 1.0.31. TV is OLED65B8SLC TV's current software version is 05.40.09 Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to roll back to previous Emby app? Thanks Best Edited January 16, 2022 by Bobby121418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassete 9 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Olá! Também estou percebendo alguns travamentos no App web lg smartv ao navegar pelas opções. Foi após a última atualização. Ia fazer esse comentário, mas como vc já falou, vamos esperar a correção. E também venho cobrando uma atualização no App, interface do emby há tempos. O plex fez essa mudança e ficou muito similar ao Amazon prime, estou testando o plex, e está também havendo alguns travamentos sutil no App ao navegar.. já disseram que irão corrigir na próxima versão. Estou no aguardo do emby fazer mudança para um App simples e rápido para navegar... E que não dê autonomia para o usuário fazer muitas mudanças...

Bobby121418 10 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi Luke, The issues seen are mainly with 4K video files. 3 examples: 1. A funny square appears on top left and the picture is not decoded. Please see attached photo. 2. The file does not play and the circle on the screen keeps turning. See attached photo. 3. A video file that once worked stops almost immediately after hitting play, the CPU shoots up to 99% ( its an old athlon x2 - but works where no 4k transcoding required) Stats for nerds does not show transcoding on any of these. Further, the app on android device seems to work fine with all 3 files. A y suggestions appreciated. Thanks Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi @Bobby121418 was there an ffmpeg log file generated when playing the hunt for red October? If so can you please provide that as well? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby121418 10 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi, I am not sure which would be the right one as there are many, so I have done another try this morning with fresh logs with only that video file. Hope these help.

Luke 37022 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi, can you try resetting server transcoding settings back to defaults? >>>>> Non-Default Encoder Parameters Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.ConstantRateFactor: Original: 23 Actual: 30 Thanks.

Bobby121418 10 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi Luke, could you please let me know how. I reset the entire NAS on daily basis and took the latest logs right after a bootup. Does that not do the job? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi, simply go into server transcoding settings and set the CRF option back to 23, then try to play again and see if that helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby121418 10 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hi, I have tried 23 and a few other values, even going as low as 10 and high as 30, but I am still seeing the same issues with those files. Additionally I am seeing continous stop/start on other files which before showed no issues. I was going to say this is only seen on the app on LG TV but now I noticed that some issues are also seen on the android app, where efore I had none. Not sure when that was updated.

Bobby121418 10 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi there, So, I got a Chromecast Ultra thinking that I would get a better result than with the LG TV app, but as I cast from my Android device to the Chromecast I see that the server is transcoding and the cpu shoots up to 99%. On the phone I cannot find how to check any stat for nerds nor whether the Quality setting is set to something lower than the original, causing a need for transcoding. Is there a way to find out why transcoding is taking place? Should I open this in another thread? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby121418 10 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi again, Issue with LG TV resolved. I realised the sound on all those files was set to default TRUEHD 7.1 so changing to AC3 5.1 solved the issue and files play fine. The only one that is still causing issues and causing transcoding is the Hunt For The Red October. I am not sure why. I haven't tried the Chromecast with these settings. Will do that later.

Tomek_etz1 1 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Morning guys Will add to this topic that all TRUEHD 7.1 was working fine before update on my LG 65OLED (native Atmos support) tv and with my Denon Arc Atmos Home Cinema. Something did change as my olmost 200 titles of 4k TRUEHD 7.1 and Atmos movies was working fine - now none of them works on LG. No issues on my Iphone, Ipad, laptop also in Chrome browser works fine. Is there a way to go back a version ? :) Regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no Transcoding - direct play i`m sure as x265,4k and all audio formats all the way to Atmos natively supported Server is using 256GB SSD for System, M.2 PCIe 256GB SSD for cache and 2 x 8TB Nas Drives Toshiba N300 Transcoding if needed on my phone or any other device is almost instant. Everything works with no issues - only problem too many changes to know what went wrong, TV Firmware updated, Emby Updated, Server Emby updated I will spend more time and redo all but any movies i have in my library working fine before now wont play when Atmos or ThrueHD main Audio codec. Will run some dignostics when all fresh install and get back to you then. Moving house now so this is not my main priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek_etz1 1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Morning Luke. Looks like LG did something with new Firmware update and no ThrueHd passthrue working at all - tested with Plex, Emby and direct play using Video Player. All other formats working fine. Currently up to my eyes with house move but will try to downgrade firmware when free to bring back this function. Most of my movies are full 4K HDR10 and ThrueHD Thank you for you help.
