alex@hoehfeld.de 0 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello everybody, just installed the new Emby Theatre. It feels smoother than the old version, but... Once I playback a Full HD Movie from my NAS via gigabit ethernet to my computer monitor (just for testing), I get a terrible resolution and lots of artifacts. Just like if I tried to access the movie via a very low bandwidth connection. If I play the movie directly from the NAS via VLC etc. I get the expected clear HD resolution... Is there a switch or a configuration item I might have missed? Regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Ensure the app has direct access to the media paths and that Windows DWM (Aero) is enabled and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex@hoehfeld.de 0 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hm, the paths have not changed, I access the NAS via \\nas\movies; with the "old" version of Emby, I did not have any issues with the resolution. Aero is running (DWM.exe)... System is Windows 10. Regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Start a movie playing. While it plays, pop open the server UI in a browser, go to the dashboard, and look at the entry for your ET instance under Active Devices. Does it say its transcoding? If so I'd post a server and transcode log to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex@hoehfeld.de 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 OK, I found a solution. Actually the playback was direct, tx for the tip with the dashboard. Once I changed the video output renderer from EVR+ to MadVR, the movies are smooth as ever without any visible artifacts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
