denz 426 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I am getting some channels on android app that are direct playing and for some reason some are getting transcoded and It is probable because of below error. Bitrate exceeds directplay limit Nextpvr also has these issue and discussion below http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30922-direct-play-of-nextpvr-live-tv/ My log files http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/31228-some-live-tv-channels-are-transcoded-some-are-direct-playing/&do=findComment&comment=299917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Assuming this is a serverwmc issue too, I need the serverwmc log after you play one of these channels. It would be great if you can restart serverwmc before you do it to keep the log clean (if not, tell me when you started the stream). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 In the log I have tuned to two channels for comparison first Channel 7 two is transcoding and Channel 7 is direct playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I didn't read the other thread closely but I think the discussion was about something being wrong in the media info. This is the media info for channel 7TWO: 2016/02/13 13:12:35.460 > Type: Audio> Index: 0, Codec: mp3, Bitrate: 192.00 kbps, SampleRate: 48.00 ksps, Channels: -1, Layout: Joint Stereo 2016/02/13 13:12:35.470 > Type: Video> Index: 1, Codec: mpeg2video, Bitrate: (1.81) mbps, Framerate: 25 fps, Width: 720, Height: 576, Profile: MP, Level: This is the media info for channel 7: 2016/02/13 13:13:22.343 > Type: Audio> Index: 0, Codec: mp3, Bitrate: 256.00 kbps, SampleRate: 48.00 ksps, Channels: 2, Layout: Stereo 2016/02/13 13:13:22.343 > Type: Video> Index: 1, Codec: mpeg2video, Bitrate: (1.72) mbps, Framerate: 25 fps, Width: 720, Height: 576, Profile: MP, Level: I notice that 7TWO the number of audio channels has an error, I could dig into the code to see why that happened (probably due tot he 'Joint Stereo', but would that cause it to transcode? I am flying blind here. Also what is the client you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 It only does this in emby android client I have tried emby theatre and everything direct plays so it looks like the android client has issues. I have attached logs of other channels that are transcoding and all of them are joint stereo. The ones that are direct playing are all stereo.

Solution krustyreturns 191 Posted February 14, 2016 Solution Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Ok, I'll fix the joint stereo setting so it comes out as 2 channel. I'll put in the next preview release if you want to try it out, Edited February 14, 2016 by krustyreturns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
