hjason7812 25 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 why do 4k mkv movies freeze shortly after playing but tvshow mkv files play without a problem? the movie is straight from a uhd disc and so are the shows but the shows play while the movies freeze. It makes no sense to me as to why. The mkv file has all subs and all audio plus the codes is h264 within the mkv container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have figured out the freezing only happens on my Google tv app nothing else freezes. I'm using the default Google tv app that I downloaded and installed from the play store on my tv..

Luke 37070 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hi. Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4267 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) What about Video bitrate and Audio codecs ? I suspect Movies will have a bitrate of 50-100 Mbit/sec and very likely to have True-HD or DTS-HD Audio, while TV Shows, even from a UHD disk, will be likely to have only a 30-40 Mbit bitrate and possibly only Dolby Digital+ Audio - as they need to fit multiple episodes on the disk. Subsequently, I suspect the Movies may be transcoding, the TV Shows/Episodes not. The google TV App is perfectly capable of playing very high bitrate 4K Remux's. We need a log/ffmpeg log to confirm.

The uhd bluray is fully ripped in lossless form whatever it is on the disc is the way it is on the server. On my Google tv app it defaults at 80mb/s quality when I sideload the standard app I should be able to adjust the bitrate quality right now i can't it does it automatically with the playstore default app Also it is ripped into the mkv format because it holds all the quality subs and audio selections in the container. And also again the Movies and shows both aren't transcoding at all when playing because I've turned the ability to transcode off its not needed with my server setup Edited October 24, 2023 by hjason7812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
