mbc0 61 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi, I use the web interface a lot through Chrome but find that it encodes on my server and does not direct stream? If I play the same file on the same machine using MBT is direct streams, is there a way to enable this or is it a limitation of using the web browser? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 you don't need to.it's smart enough to know when it can direct stream and when it can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc0 61 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Luke, I appreciate the reply but can you help me with as to why it encodes everything then please as mbs does not encode anything on the same machine, also all files play perfectly on the same machine with vlc,media playe etc... will a log show anything?

Luke 37068 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 lookup the supported formats for whatever browser you're using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The short answer is yes, the browser is much more limited than those other programs in what it can directly play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I use MP4 with AAC audio to get direct stream in Chrome browser. I convert my files using Handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
