sward 26 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Hello - seems Emby Theater is no longer using VLC as my external player, even though it is still configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sward 26 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Seems there have been a lot of improvements with the native Emby Theater player and its ability to play back all (most?) video files using HW acceleration, so I see no need to use an external player at this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 10bit HEVC files with PGS subtitles Transcode and Burning in Subtitles takes to much time and VLC is doing this all right. So I use VLC playback on these occasions. Can we get VLC playback again? I would be thankfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I new there was a external player option and I still found it in the TV app, but I thought it was in the windows emby windows app in the playback tab. But I might be wrong. Sorry for that.
