farside847 39 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It seems that this flag is what tells the roku thumbnail app to create a bif file. I have a few high bit rate videos at 25mbit that direct play perfectly, but isEligibleForDirectStream is set to false in the log file and no bif file is created. I think it might be due to a bit rate limit. Is there a list of requirements that the tool uses to determine direct play and direct stream/bif? They seem to have different needs and have recently changed. With this information I can troubleshoot my videos. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farside847 39 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Been doing some digging, and found what I think determines the Roku direct play requirements, and the thumbnail creation: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Plugins/blob/master/RokuMetadata/RokuDeviceProfile.cs Bitrate - 20mbit limit containter - mp4, mkv, m4v, mov Audio - aac or mp3 Video - h264 or mpeg4 video profile - high, main, baseline, constrained baseline audio level - 41 video depth - 8bit width max - 1920 height max - 1080 Ref Frames - 4 max framerate - max 30 Since the Roku app supports greater than 20mbit video, can this script be modified to support it too? thanks!

Luke 36879 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 that is just a default. the plugin has settings to override that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic 30 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 There is another way to get BIF files, that probably is less picky. [Linky] Course because its less picky...you may end up with BIF files for video's that can't direct play at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farside847 39 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 that is just a default. the plugin has settings to override that Ah, I see the plugin code has just been updated to include higher bitrates! Currently my plug in (3.0.5586.40739) max is 20mbit, so this should fix my issue when the new update to the plugin is made available. I will wait patiently. thanks guys!
