Function Suggestion: Add a switch for using the current device's H265 decoder to the Emby APP

 

Dear Emby team,

 

I have a function proposal. I'm using an old Android TV. The TV supports hardware decoding of HEVC H265 videos. However, when using its decoder to play videos directly, the frame rate is very low and the playback is quite choppy. The Emby APP will directly use the decoder to decode H265 videos regardless of the user's wishes when the device supports the H265 decoder. As a result, the videos look extremely choppy and not smooth at all. If you want the server to transcode the videos into AVC H264 for playback, you can only reduce the bit rate/resolution. For a 1080p H265 video with an original bit rate of 2Mbps, reducing the bit rate further will only make it extremely blurry, which seriously affects the viewing experience. I suggest adding a switch to the Emby APP to disable the use of the device's own H265 decoder and let the server transcode the videos into AVC H264 for playback.

功能建议: 为Emby APP添加使用当前设备h265解码器开关

 

尊敬的emby团队,你们好。

我有个功能提议。我的设备是一台安卓系统的旧电视,电视是支持硬件解密hevc h265视频的,但是使用它的解码器直接播放视频,帧率会很低很卡顿。emby APP在设备支持h265解码器的情况下会无视用户意愿,直接使用解码器解码h265视频。使视频看起来极为卡顿不流畅,想要让服务器转码成avc h264进行播放只能降低码率/分辨率,原本2mbps的1080p h265视频再降低码率只会变的特别模糊,十分影响体验。建议为Emby APP添加一个开关以关闭使用设备自身的h265解码器,让服务器转码成avc h264播放视频。
