BrandonYoung 5 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Playing an AV1 file on my Acer Chromebook Spin 513 (CP513-2H) The video looks garbled when playing. It is direct playing from the server, not transcoding. using Emby for Android 3.3.04 This screenshot below shows the video doesn't look right. The vobsub softsubs show ok, though. Here is the same file playing back in Windows. The video shows fine. So, it looks like the file is OK, just something about how Emby for Android is playing it.

BrandonYoung 5 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 I switched my Downloads to the external folder, and I was able to download and play the file using VLC Another note, it looks to be just my DVD rips, my 1080p Blu-rays converted to AV1 are playing just fine. So, it looks like it has something to do with the lower 480p resolution file, I re-ripped an episode, upscaling it to 720p and the video showed properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonYoung 5 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Another note, I think it also might have something to do with the Android ARCVM that Google uses to run the new Android 11 on my Chromebook. It recently updated, and I remember the videos playing okay before the update. Before it was on Android 9 using ARC++ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonYoung 5 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Have you been able to replicate this issue? Or find any idea of the cause? The video is looking worse. I just see a bunch of lines. I can't make out any details of the picture at all now. My current Emby for Android version is 3.3.29 Still running Android 11 on the Chromebook Acer Chromebook Spin 513 (CP513-2H), which is ARM based The subtitles show clearly as they are the DVD vobsubs, not burned into the video.

Luke 37085 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 OK, we're looking into this. One thing I can say is that the video player we're embedding (exoplayer), currently has heavy development activity occurring related to av1 so that's a good sign that improvements will be coming.

BrandonYoung 5 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 @Luke Has there been any progress on this issue? Still seeing garbled video output from 480p AV1 from the Emby Android app on my Chromebook. The playback looks fine on my phone, though. Both report playing as Direct Play, not transcoding. Emby app is Emby for Android 3.3.77 on both my phone and Chromebook I have attached the video file for your testing. Macross - S01E01.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
