Auto-direct Play quality doesn't appear on Microsoft Edge

March 9

When I play a movie on Chrome or Brave browser, I could see the playback Quality (auto-direct), choosing which I can watch movie without any lag.

However same in Microsoft Edge, I never Auto-direct option and I had to choose any one of the quality speeds.

My processor shoots to 100% usage whenever I watch movies on Microsoft Edge,

However below is my CPU usage when I watch same 4K movie with Auto-direct on Chrome/Brave browser

Wondering why this happens with Microsoft Edge.

I believe the issue is that there are too many items in the list for 4k movies and Auto doesn't show up. I posted this issue, but it's not fixed yet. @Luke can you provide a status?

The only way to get around it is to switch to a non 4k video, change the quality to Auto then switch back to the 4k video.

Hi, did you try scrolling to the bottom of the list?

There is No Auto-Direct but yes Auto is at the bottom of the list. At least from a browser client standpoint.

But yes the list needs redesign as bitrate applies but resolution does not. So downscaling will happen on some of those bitrates.

The Auto option doesn't appear at the bottom of the list with 4k movies in any app that I've tried.

Sorry yes this is an issue with limits as there is a virtualChunkSize: 30 on ListView. @Luke

Really no different then the Alpha Picker limit.

I tried it all, please know there is no auto direct option in the bottom of the list.

As mentioned since Emby has hard limits when it comes to 4K Auto gets cut off the bottom of the list.

But you can always go to User settings-Playback

Note there is no such setting as Auto-Direct though. It is just Auto.

I tried to do the "Inspect Element" on Edge browser just to check if "Auto-direct" is present and not showing on screen. Found that option is not at-all present.

I'm not sure this helps with the current app issues. I have my video playback settings at Auto, but if I change it to force transcoding so I can skip forward in a ts file, then it changes the quality on every video I play from that point forward. So then I have to go back to a non 4k video, change back to Auto, then return to the 4k video to start playing in Auto. I can't find any other workaround to prevent jumping back and forth. Luke could just add an option to disable direct play on ts files, but he still refuses to do so.

I tried to do the "Inspect Element" on Edge browser just to check if "Auto-direct" is present and not showing on screen. Found that option is not at-all present.

Correct as there is a ListView limit of 30 as playing a 1080p item is there.

But the combo video is not a setting.

It is just saying Auto is being used and the media is Direct playing.

Finally, the question is not about how to make auto direct option visible. The problem i am facing is on Edge I am unable to play 4K videos because it is expecting a specific bit rate to stream, however in chrome browser this is not mandatory and it is playing the movie smoothly. Why is this difference when both of these browser built with same technology? If I get auto option on edge too.. i could play 4K movie without any problems.

No it's not; the client setting tells Emby what rate not to exceed. If the bit rate of the file is lower, then it will be direct streamed (if it's in a format that can be), otherwise it will be transcoded to come within your specified maximum.

Auto doesn't do anything different - it just tries to assess the bandwidth of your link, and selects a maximum bit rate that falls within that.

One way that this can fail is if the setting calls for transcoding and the user has specified that transcoding is not allowed - but this is true whether the bit rate selection is made manually or by auto.

Not enough information is provided but is playback local or remote as remote should be the only playback session that can have issue direct playing high bitrate media.

So a specific example with server and ffmpeg log will answer almost any question.

But a wild guess would be playback is remote and Auto does not play well.

100Mbps direct play (locally)

@PavanGayakwad?

Below is the server log when I played on Microsoft Edge that does NOT show auto direct option but plays at a specific bit rate, you can find bitrate exceeding error at the timeline 2024-03-16 18:51:44

Hope you find this helpful..

And the ffmpeg log.

But something is triggering the &MaxStreamingBitrate=4000002 which I believe is the hardcoded fallback bitrate for Auto.

ffmpeg logs.. there you go...

ffmg-6-47.txt ffmg-6-51.txt

If the client itself is not set to lower bitrate then Auto Fallback is being utilized. But have no idea why this would happen on LAN.

Remember every client has its own playback quality setting to include every browser per device.

when it is in auto-direct mode (only appears on Chrome/brave), the CPU usage does not even cross 20%. It is my understanding that at this time, emby is not transcoding anything and stream the video "as is" over LAN. when I play the same video on Microsoft Edge, CPU usage shoots-up to 100%, RAM also 100% utilized and movie lags.

What I am expecting is that, let user have option to select auto-direct mode and when it is selected, let emby not transcode the movie and just stream it "as is"

There is no such setting as Auto-Direct but not really the point. Auto is the setting.

Not knowing the reason for fallback your only option is to disable transcoding via User setup but comes at its own risk if conversions is required. Or just set the client to a higher value then Auto.

@Lukethere is no bitrate limit applied anywhere on browsers correct?

March 16

Well, I did not find those playbak options on my emby server, I am using Emby version: Version 4.8.3.0. Could you please help me where this can be located?

UPDATE: Never mind, got it under Users section.

Interesting observation, I was checking on Microsoft Edge browser on MacOS and interstingly I could see the auto-direct option there and 4K movie played without any problem! Whereas when I run the same movie on MS Edge on Windows and Linux machines they lag and there is no auto-direction option selected by default as it doesn't exist.

@Happy2Play I tried setting all options you suggested, no luck.

The option is actually Auto, the Direct is added information telling the user that Auto has decided it can direct play.

Auto-direct Play quality doesn't appear on Microsoft Edge
