dirkdigs 10 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Using panasonic viera default profile . can somebody post a screen shot of the setting? i am not finding anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 There is no way to do this. Emby is setup so it will only transcode when it needs to. If it's transcoding that indicates your TV doesn't have or is improperly reporting it doesn't have the capability to direct play the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can you provide the media info of something you think should direct play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 how do i check if its being transcoded or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 When something is playing you can look at "Active Devices" in the Dashboard or check you log folder for transcode logs.

dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 yea if i change the container to mkv the movie starts and then stops right away. Here is the transcoding details: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37994 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 well no, you can't transcode to mkv. you should leave the transcoding profiles alone and look at the direct play profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do i need to add anything in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37994 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 have you compared that value against he bitrates of the content you're attempting to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 ok that's interesting. i raised it from 8 to 21 and it now plays with the correct aspect ratio (which it wasn't doing previous) but now it says audio format not supported.

Luke 37994 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 interesting. i guess we will have to remove dca from our panasonic profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 And I have a Viera GT50 just for the record. so is there any way for me to have the correct aspect ratio when transcoding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Looks like your model doesn't support DTS. Try to remove dca from the profile. This should only transcode the audio. See page 89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkdigs 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 i remove dca from profile. aspect ratio still incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian875 2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 bumping this as everyone seems to have the same problems with recent update which causes everything to be transcoded. any chance you can implement a "force direct play" option soon similar to plex? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your user account settings in the dashboard. There are options to disable the ability to transcode video and audio. I found out when reading the first, (incredibly predictable), thread I've seen about media not playing as a result.

christian875 2 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Go to Dashboard-Users-Select a user-Media playback options ok thanks but that didn't really solved the problem; now just won't play files if not transcoded. anyway, it's all the x265 10bit movies that are not playing direct. hope there's a solution soon!
