Hello, I've been trying to play some files recently on my Fire Stick 4K and it seems that the server doesn't want to start transcoding for this specific device. I'm getting the following error in the transcode log:

20:45:42.640 Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'hwupload@f4' and the filter 'auto_scale_0'
20:45:42.640 Error reinitializing filters!
20:45:42.640 Failed to inject frame into filter network: Function not implemented
20:45:42.640 Error while processing the decoded data for stream #0:4
20:45:42.650 Conversion failed!

When transcoding on other devices (iOS, Android Phone, etc), for the same video, the transcoding is working.

I've attached the transcode log and emby server logs here: https://filerun.ineffable.xyz/wl/?id=hq1q8JE7LHZQa1AHzHU1SHpMDEPEkwgK

I'm not able to provide a Fire Stick 4K log at this time. Does someone knows why transcoding isn't working anymore for this device? It's been working fine for the past few months.

Thanks!

Hi, how did you install Emby Server?

Linuxserver docker container on unraid.

I was able to make it work with the official Emby Docker image. I just forgot to add the device to the container command.

The issue I was having was with the LinuxServer container, and others seems to have the same problem here:

Thank you for your help :)

well it seems I was mistaken. The issue isn't fixed. I was confusing 2 different issues that I was experiencing when trying to switch from the Linuxserver container to the official one.

When hardware transcoding via the iGPU is enabled, the transcoding works for maybe 2 minutes, then the stream freezes and the Emby app on the client needs to be closed.

Any idea what those error lines mean? (the same as the ones in the 1st post) 

21:47:31.583 Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'hwupload@f4' and the filter 'auto_scale_0'
21:47:31.583 Error reinitializing filters!
21:47:31.583 Failed to inject frame into filter network: Function not implemented
21:47:31.583 Error while processing the decoded data for stream #0:11
21:47:31.585 Conversion failed!

Hi, please try 4.8.0.8+ once available for your platform and let us know how that compares. Thanks.

It's still isn't working properly, but the error changed when it's failing to transcode with HW, BUT this time it falls back properly to software transcoding.

Again, rolling back to 4.6.7.0 and HW transcoding is working fine.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

does it work when you don't select any subtitles for display? (on 4.8.0.8)

Please also try the following: (on 4.8.0.8)

  • Install the Diagnostics Plugin from the catalog
  • Restart
  • Got to Diagnostic Options
  • Clear the check boxes for disabled HW overlay and subtitle filtering
  • retry

Thanks

Could you please post log from this "working fine" case as well?
Thanks

Yes it does! But when I enable subtitles, HW transcoding fails and falls back to software transcoding.

HW transcoding works when disabling HW overlay and subtitle filtering and not using any subtitles, but when enabling the subtitles I get this popup:

Playback Error
No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details.

 

 

Please see attached logs for the "working" part on 4.6.7.0.

 

Thanks!

Just as a follow-up, it's still not working on 4.8.0.9. It still falls back to software transcoding with this error: 

15:25:58.004 [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x70f4c0] No VA display found for device dev1.
15:25:58.004 Device creation failed: -22.
15:25:58.004 [h264 @ 0x781040] No device available for decoder: device type vaapi needed for codec h264.

Is anyone having issues with HW transcoding on Unraid with Emby, using Emby Server 4.7.0.60 or above? Since upgrading from 4.6.7.0, I can't make it to work.

Hi Luke, thanks for the follow-up. All relevant logs are available in this thread:

Sorry, I'm posting a bit left and right in relevant threads trying to figure out if others are experiencing the same issue, because this prevents me from updating to newer versions and it bothers me a bit :)

I tested:

4.7.8.0 > not working

4.8.0.10-beta: not working

4.8.0.12-beta: working

 

Will wait until the next stable release for a final round of testing, but it seems fixed with the latest beta.

Thanks!

Hi Emby team,

I have a similar problem with Nvidia Shield and Emby android TV app.

The error is:  

Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'hwupload@f4' and the filter 'auto_scale_0'

I tested Emby versions:

  • previous release (no problem) -> I don't have log to attach
  • 4.7.8 (attached files ending with __478)
  • 4.7.9 (attached files ending with __479)

Same problem on both releases. I cannot test the beta release but I hope it will fix this problem.
