Renegade334 0 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi, Since I'm relatively new to emby I have some (maybe) simple questions: Is there a list of supported formats the WebClient can use without transcoding? Are the formats browser specific or dependant on the Interface implementation? I hope these questions haven't been answerded before (I didn't find a thread about this). The reason for my question is that I run emby on a Server that is not fast enough to recode 1080p and more (even for 720p I have to set the Quality to low/fast transcode). I can perfectly play files via direct play, but I wan't to use the WebClient to see the covers and other info that it offers. Most of my media is avi (DivX,XviD) or mkv (h264,x264). As far as I understand I Need to recode (or at least remux) my mkv files to mp4. Can I direct stream mp4 files with h264 and AAC or AC3 with the WebClient or do I have to recode everything to MPEG4? Many thanks in advance for your help. ~Renegade334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 yes it's browser specific, but for pretty much all of them it's h264 video + aac or mp3 audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
