jmassaro87 28 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’ve got some really terrible contrasting/artifacts happening when watch Emby content on our AppleTV 4K. It doesn’t happen with streaming services or on other devices running Emby. I am using a Synology Ds418 play as my server. Everything is hardwire Ethernet including the AppleTV. What might cause this? One photo is my tv, the other is my iPhone. You can see in the lower right corner what I’m talking about plus how much lighter the image is on the TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdatanet 1549 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 More info about playback, MPV or native player? Direct play, direct streaming, remuxing...? Is there an ffmpeg log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an ffmpeg log? Every time I have ever checked, it has always been DirectPlay, not entirely certain about this specific instance. I attached a server log from last night. We watched the movie in the screen photos at the 19:17 mark in the logs. How would i go about getting all of that information? The last ffmpeg log for the system is from 4/1. May contain applicable information as it has always been this way, just never really thought about it until last night when we watched a Netflix movie and it just randomly popped in my head that it was crystal clear. Then we watched a movie in Emby, and it was artifacty in the dark scenes. It's likely always that way, but highly noticeable in the dark scenes. I always wrote it off as maybe quality of the files being played, but its every file regardless of quality or source of the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also brought back the "next episode" count downs as well. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I get better results with the native player, the only drawback is that what is not supported must be transcoded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
