smgsmagus 0 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 hi! I have a problem with files from GoPro camera (4K , 60fps, 120mbit bitrate). I'm trying to watch them from Nvidia Shield Pro via Emby app, but I see only first frame of the video file. Audio is being passed through without any problems. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smgsmagus 0 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 this fits into HDMI 2.0 specs, so should work fine, also VLC can display these files on shield without any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14916 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 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...
smgsmagus 0 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 I tried, result is that I see more than 1 frame, but it stutters a lot, I see maybe 1 frame out of 10 or even 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgsmagus 0 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 I tried also to enable DLNA in Emby and play file with VLC on Shield - works flawlessly. Same as with Kodi via SMB share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smgsmagus 0 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 hi, I used the one from link provided above, so I assume latest one. I did some testing with following GoPro files: 4k 10 bit 60 fps 4k 8 bit 60 fps 4k 8 bit 30 fps none of them works properly, all stuck on a first frame. What is interesting is that on LG TV app these files works properly. On Shield they work in VLC, but not in Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgsmagus 0 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I can record and send you some sample file so you can check on your side - just let me know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4274 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 At these bitrates, I suspect it's network bandwidth related. How are the server and client devices all connected ? Wifi or Wired ? Remember the bitrate on 120mbps is above what a wired 100Mbit connection can deliver - so unless you have a great wifi signal on wifi 5 (ac) and above, you are going to have trouble. Kodi and VLC will be using direct SMB connections, Emby will be using HTTP via the Emby Server - very different methods to transfer the file.

smgsmagus 0 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I'm on very good wifi AC connection, Shield connectivity is much better than TV. I will understand if that will buffer or stutter, but file should play at least. Here it stops on first frame. 4k 8 bit 30 fps is around 80Mbps bitrate. I had mp4 files with even higher bitrate and they played just fine. I guess this is related to some codec issue which GoPro may use, not to the network.

It could be an extreme profile that the Shield/Emby combo does not like. Can you compare to the MP4 that does work ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8289 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 My guess as @rbjtechelude to is "Main@L6@Main" level 6 encoding. Most clients complain about higher than 5.1, not saying it isn't possible but is outside the norm. As you mentioned no issues with L5 encodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4274 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 High Efficiency Video Coding tiers and levels - Wikipedia The Shield Pro is not capable of natively playing back 4K/120fps - as it has an HDMI 2.0 interface. Thus any other software that 'works' is tricking you into it playing back - it's likely doing it at 60fps - the max the Shield Pro can handle. Are there maybe any settings on the GoPro to reduce the fps to 60 - and use the hevc 5.1 profile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgsmagus 0 Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 hi if you will read this thread carefully, you will see that problem is not with files with 120fps, but less. It seems not to be HDMI issue ( as VLC is capable of opening these files), but Emby capability to play Main@L6@Main HEVC files. Even 30fps files are failing.

It's both - HDMI 2.0 is not capble of playing of playing 4K@120fps. So even if the Shield could play L6 profiles - which it cannot - then HDMI would not allow it anyway. If you look at your mediainfo output that I asked for for originally, you will see that even 30 fps is written as an L6 profile. This is totally unnecessary and is the reason why they are failing because the Shield does not support this profile. This looks a bug to me on the GoPro firmware - it should be recording 4K 30 or 60fps as L5.0 or 5.1 - both of which the shield supports. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
