Conversion plugins are totally fine and I don't mind any such plugins to be added to the catalog Just make sure that You don't create the impression that such conversions are safe or guaranteed to be lossless If possible, please don't offer an option to automatically delete the original files I don’t offer the immediate deletion of any files. There is back up feature and time to hold onto original files and also a revrt back function. your riding a different train here and flogging a dead horse. Mkvconvert is not even an option anymore. but please continue to confuse the thread. I thought i was clear in the fact that if you want to continue this, take it to pm or start a new thread. Jeez your emby staff! Edited June 17, 2022 by Cheesegeezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4248 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) While I haven't seen the very latest MKV Convert Plugin from Dave - to re-iterate again - on the previous release, ANY source file (regardless of container) is EXCLUDED from conversions if it contains any form of Dolby Vision. While there is probably some logic we could follow to safely convert these, it would involve more 3rd party tools and is far safer to just leave them alone. For the MKV MediaInfo Plugin (which concerns itself with how these files are 'named/presented') then If and when ffmpeg is ready to identify these as DV and this info is written to the Emby dB (in perhaps some dedicated fields), then we can probably manipulate the emby database title instead (to match all the other options we provided) and leave the source file well alone.

neik 837 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Random question: When will we see DoVi detection within Emby? The competition apparently has it: I personally am totally OK with Cheese' plugin but for the regular user that probably doesn't really care about the actual DV profile (DV5, DV7, etc) a general information of the layer would already be helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4248 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Emby already has the possibility of DOVI detection as it includes the latest ffmpeg - see below :- However, unless emby are adding this during a file probe - then it will not get displayed. I expect there may be a bit of Client work as well to include it. @softworkz - Any ETA for this please ? C:\Emby-Server\system>ffprobe -v error -hide_banner -select_streams v:0 -show_streams "M:\Films 4K\1917 (2019) [tmdbid=530915]\1917 (2019) - 2160p DV HDR10.mkv" [STREAM] index=0 codec_name=hevc codec_long_name=H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) profile=Main 10 codec_type=video ........
