lolque 0 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I have a video with the following mediainfo: Title 1080p H264 Codec H264 Profile High Level 50 Resolution 1448x1080 Aspect Ratio 181:135 Interlaced No Framerate 29.97 Bitrate 45 mbps Bit Depth 8 bit Pixel Format yuv420p Reference Frames 1 Emby correctly detects it as 1080p in the episode viewer. But there are no 1080p quality options in the quality selector. playback logs.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hi, you might just have to scroll the options to see higher ones Have you tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolque 0 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 You cannot scroll any higher. This happens across both Emby Theater for Windows Desktop and Emby Web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolque 0 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Even if I set the bitrate to 4k - 120Mbps in my user settings, Emby will use 720p - 10Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 @Lukeis this client or server but has been brought up before. As it has something to do with the odd resolutions. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/105357-h264-codec-tag-avc1-file-cannot-be-played-through-web-browsers/&do=findComment&comment=1116509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicDoubleM 93 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Double check the output resolution via stats for nerds. That list to choose from is more or less just about the bitrate, the decision making for resolution does it's own thing. So if the bitrate is high enough, the server will not downscale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolque 0 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) 45Mbps -> 10Mbps is a pretty large drop in quality here. I also can't force direct play using the quality settings, such as when Emby mis-calculates my internet speed, as it won't let me select a high enough bitrate since 720p is capped at 10Mbps. Separately though, it would be nice to have a "Max/Direct" setting to force direct play unless the format is not supported.

Hi. The apps already do that by default if you set the quality to the maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separately though, it would be nice to have a "Max/Direct" setting to force direct play unless the format is not supported. This is evidence that it currently does not. The max setting is 720p - 10Mbps. Emby is transcoding it down, even when the video is supported by the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to your playback settings and select the maximum bitrate there, then bitrate will never be a reason for transcoding any item (less than that max).
