would also like to put something in for investigation.

i also see a trascode and have turned off transcoding because my hardware would go to pieces with a second stream. i would be happy if it played directly, which it has done in the past. the client is a firetv stick. is there a setting i could still set or is there possibly a way to go to direct playback.

please find attached all related logs and also the media information file.

@ Happy2Play

would also like to put something in for investigation.

i also see a trascode and have turned off transcoding because my hardware would go to pieces with a second stream. i would be happy if it played directly, which it has done in the past. the client is a firetv stick. is there a setting i could still set or is there possibly a way to go to direct playback.

please find attached all related logs and also the media information file.

Since you disabled transcoding it is hard to say why it wants to transcode.  Just like the image shows bitrate doubling but the logs say stream copy.

But with DirectPlayError I believe the player doesn't like something about the media but devs would have to comment more.  As I don't know if that is from the disabled options or not.

@LukeI have activated the top and bottom options and deactivated the two middle ones. Because my server hardware would not allow transcoding (in terms of performance). In other words, either the server can transcode and then there is no error or it cannot transcode and then it does in case of doubt. If I deactivate the last option, my livetv stream doesn't work, among other things, but that's a separate topic, I'll open something about that soon. I was and still am a little surprised about the error, now it is trascoding on a machine and an error is displayed, although it shouldn't do that. If only one user has just caught a file, then it just works, but if there are 2 streams, then my system is at 100% and not much works anymore. What then remains is the question of what he doesn't like about this file, I haven't understood that yet, another sequence with the apparently same data doesn't lead to any problems. I can provide the two files if it helps.

Thank you and I will come back to you separately regarding the LiveTV.

Best regards
