user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Got my ROKU - what a small puck! So... Mediabrowser seems to be transcoding mkv files and it is not passing through the dts / ac3 stream - I have tried 5 good movies (ones I know work on MB3 classic / MBT) interestingly I have also installed the plex client and this plays the files with no encoding - and sends the pure audio... So the above proves the Roku can natively play - and pass through - just mediabrowser not doing so. Am I missing an option somewhere - would you like any more information?

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Have you turned on Surround Sound on the Roku? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes - first thing I did - note the plex client on the roku passes it through (so I know its switched on) - same movie - different result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well just because the plex client is passing it through doesn't mean much. I'm not sure the Plex client pays attention to the Roku's setting in the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The other thing to check. Make sure the bitrate in the MB client is set to above what the video is. It defaults to only 3Mb, so if the movie is above that it would transcode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes - I have turned it on (100%). I suspect it is the fact that for some reason it is being transcoded - and not playing natively (the plex client plays it natively - confirming that the Roku can play it).

user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 tried it incrementally until 20 - it is still transcoding is there a server side setting - or a way to force local?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Can you show me information on the file itself? Like the media information from the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 sure - can you guide me as to what you are looking for.. I have a file that works fine (a view to a kill - mkv) and one that transcodes (casina royale - mkv) how can I get the info to you?

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Goto the server dashboard http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/index.html Find the movie, under the details there will be something like this: Video:eng • h264 • 1920x1080 • 16:9 • 35008 kbps Audio:eng • DTS-HD MA • 5.1 • 1536 kbps • Default Audio:eng • DTS • 5.1 • 1536 kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Also if it helps its actually transcoding and sending it in PCM - (as oppose to pass through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ok, lets look at Casino Royale. If you goto the computer that runs the server, there is the MB server running in the system tray. Right click on it and there should be an option called "Library Explorer". If that isn't there, select "Configure Media Browser" then select "Avanced", then "Enable Debug Logging" and save. That option should be there then. Basically find the movie there within the Library explorer and then copy the data that is on the right side pane over to the forums. It will give me the full details on the file so I can see what is going on. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chat about what it takes to be a Double O agent (one of the requirements is making two kills) and Bond casually tells Dryden that his espionage contact, Fisher died, and Not well. Intercut with the conversation are black and white scenes of Bond and Dryden's contact fighting in a men's room. Bond finally pushes the man's face into an overflowing sink and holds him there until he falls to the floor, apparently dead.\n\nDryden points a gun at Bond. Shame. We barely got to know each other. He pulls the trigger, but James has removed the ammunition from the weapon. I know where you keep your gun. I suppose that's something. Despite this, Dryden taunts Bond, asking him if he felt any remorse or guilt over killing Fisher. Dryden says that Bond needn't worry, the second is-- at which point Bond kills Dryden. Bond puts his pistol away saying, Yes, considerably. (Though not said explicitly, Bond found the killing of Dryden, his second such kill, considerably easier than the first.) In flashback, Fisher recovers from Bond's attempt to drown him and picks up his pistol. The frame instantly shifts to the series' iconic gun barrel sequence. Bond spins around and shoots the man. Blood runs down the frame, prompting the opening titles.\n\nThe scene shifts to Uganda where a terrorist group is meeting with Le Chiffre, a private banker to terrorist groups around the world. The broker for the deal is a Mr. White, who invests their money and manipulates stocks so they get a 100% return on the investment. The terrorists, lead by a man named Obanno, agree to allow the money to be taken for Le Chiffre's nefarious purposes.\n\nIn Madagascar, Bond, on his first mission as a 00, is working with another agent, Carter, monitoring a terrorist, Mollaka, who is gambling on a match between a cobra and a mongoose... Bond's inexperienced partner agent is exposed after Mollaka gets a cell call and the terrorist bolts from the scene. Bond chases the man, who is an experienced free runner (parkour) who leads Bond through a construction site, onto several sky cranes and finally to the Nambutu embassy where he seeks asylum. Bond charges into the embassy, in direct contravention of international law and his orders, and catches Mollaka. Bond fights his way thru the halls of the embassy and finally finds himself surrounded by armed guards. The ambassador appears and orders Bond to let Mollaka go. Bond shoots the terrorist and a nearby gas tank and escapes in the explosion. He also steals the backpack Mollaka was carrying. Searching through the backpack, he finds a cell phone and a bomb. Bond examines the man's messages briefly, seeing one with an American phone number and the word ellipsis. Bond keeps the phone.\n\nBack at MI6, M is furious that 007's violent actions were caught on tape at the Nambutu embassy. Bond later sneaks into M's home and hacks her top-level clearance so he can trace where the cell phone call originated from. When M enters she's startled and lectures him on proper protocol and conduct. She thought it was a mistake to give him 00 status. Bond assures her that the life expectancy of a 00 is brief, so your mistake will be short-lived. M tells him that arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand-in-hand and she wanted him to take his ego out of the equation when on a mission. She also tells him to go on a brief vacation until she can decide how best to deal with him. Bond had discovered that the call to Mollaka originated in the Bahamas and so Bond goes there to investigate who made the call and why. He ends up finding a middle man, Dmitrios, who was working for Le Chiffre and that he was hired to find someone who could carry out a task for Le Chiffre. Bond meets Dmitrios and plays poker with him, winning his 1964 Aston Martin. Bond uses the Aston to finagle a romantic evening with Dmitrios' spurned wife, Solange, to get information about her husband. She tells Bond that Dmitrios is going to Miami. Bond follows him there where he confronts Dmitrios, after seeing him put a bag away for someone to pick up later. Bond kills Dmitrios when he's held at knifepoint, however, the bag goes missing and Bond follows the man, Carlos, hired for Mollaka's job. Bond follows Carlos to Miami International Airport, where he pulls a security uniform out of the bag and puts it on. He slips into the secured area of the airport and Bond follows him, having figured out ellipsis was the security code to get through the door. M calls Bond to tell him Le Chiffre will have Carlos destroy the prototype for a large airline named Skyfleet. The prototype is the largest aircraft in the world and destroying it will bankrupt Skyfleet. Carlos sets off the emergency sprinkler system in the building to cause a diversion and slips out onto the tarmac. Carlos attaches an explosive charge to a refueling tanker and starts driving it towards the plane. However, Bond manages to leap onto the tanker. The two have a vicious fight all the way around the runways while being chased by the Miami-Dade Police. Eventually, Carlos leaps off the truck, and Bond is barely able to stop the tanker from hitting the plane. Carlos smiles as Bond is arrested and sets off the charge. Except Bond attached the charge to Carlos' belt during the melee, and Carlos ends up dead.\n\nReturning to Nassau, Bond discovers a crime scene, the victim being Solange. M explains she was torturned and killed by Le Chiffre because she was the only one left alive and he assumed she talked. Le Chiffre's plan was to short sell millions of dollars in Skyfleet stock and destroying their prototype, causing their stock to plummet and send them into bankruptcy. Thanks to Bond, Le Chiffre loses over $101 million dollars. Now a marked man, Le Chiffre must find another way to earn the money back so his investors will not kill him. He sets up a high stakes poker match in Montenegro for 10 players with entry fees at $10 million each + a $5 million buy back should they lose all their money. M informs Bond of the poker game and agrees to let Bond continue the mission since he's the best poker player in the service. M also implants a homing device on 007 so she can track him anywhere.\n\nThe British Government will be putting up the money and we are introduced to Vesper Lynd who is the government agent who is going to monitor Bond and give a go, no-go should he lose the money. They talk on the train about each other, Vesper commenting on his cold nature and Bond remarking on how Vesper is retentive. Upon arriving they are to pose as a married couple and meet Rene Mathis, their contact in Montenegro. Each poker player has their money in a Swiss bank in escrow while they play and each one has a password to keep the money secured. Vesper has the account number but only 007 knows the password. On the first hand, 007 loses a chunk of cash to figure out how Le Chiffre bluffs (his physical tell involves him placing his left hand near his wounded eye), however Vesper is not at all amused. After a lengthy round of hands, a break is called. Bond places a tracking device in Le Chiffre's asthma inhaler and takes Vesper back to their room. Le Chiffre is called back to his room by his girlfriend, Valenka. However, he was confronted by Obanno and his henchman, demanding his money back. They threaten to cut off Valenka's arm. However, Le Chiffre doesn't acquiesce. Out in the hallway, Bond hears Valenka screaming. He quickly grabs Vesper and they kiss in the stairway entrance to cover themselves. However Obanno's henchman notices Bond's earpiece and attacks them both. The fight takes them into the stairwell, where the henchman gets thrown off the stairwell to his death, and James and Obanno have a knock-down drag-out fight all the way down the stairwell. Finding landing on the bottom, Bond gets Obanno into a chokehold. Obanno tries to reach for Bond's gun, but Vesper smashes it out of his hands. Bond kills Obanno and orders Vesper to contact Mathis, who sets up a man to take the fall for the dead bodies by placing them in the man's car trunk. Bond finishes the poker session, but he returns to the room to find Vesper shaking uncontrollably in the shower from the fight. He holds on to her and comforts her.\n\nThe next day, during the continuing poker game, Bond loses all his money to Le Chiffre after misreading a bluff and admits to Vesper that he made a mistake. Vesper won't give him the buy back money saying he's going to lose it. Furious, 007 goes after Le Chiffre but is stopped by one of the other poker players, Felix Leiter, sent by the CIA to the poker match to catch Le Chiffre. Leiter tells 007 that he's doing poorly himself in the game and that he'll back Bond to re-enter the game; Leiter believes that Bond can beat Le Chiffre. In return, Bond will give Le Chiffre to the CIA. Bond slowly builds his bank again and once again becomes a threat to Le Chiffre. Le Chiffre has Valenka poison Bond's martini with digitalis, causing Bond to suffer severe tachycardia. Bond goes to his car distressed and, communicating with medical specialists at MI6 headquarters, is about to use the defibrillator when he sees the the connection isn't plugged in and passes out. Vesper arrives, fixes the defibrillator kit and shocks him back to life. Bond, shaken, returns to the game. The final hand of the game is down to four players, including Bond and Le Chiffre, who go all in, betting their remaining money, driving the pot well over $120 million. One man has a flush, while another has a full house. Le Chiffre has a higher full house and is about to take the entire pot. Bond reveals he has a straight flush and wins the game.\n\nBond has dinner with Vesper, who receives a call from Mathis stating that Le Chiffre has been apprehended by the CIA. Vesper leaves the dining room; seconds later, Bond realizes she's in danger. Vesper is kidnapped by Le Chiffre. Bond races after them in his Aston Martin, but has to swerve violently when he sees Vesper lying bound in the road. The car rolls several times, destroying it and injuring Bond, rendering him unconscious. Le Chiffre and his cronies take him, remove his homing implant and take him and Vesper to a nearby tramp steamer. Bond is stripped and bound to a chair with the seat removed, leaving his testicles exposed. Le Chiffre uses a large knotted rope, striking Bond's scrotum, demanding the password for the account the winnings have been secured in. Bond refuses, despite Le Chiffre's threats to kill him and Vesper. Le Chiffre finally draws a knife and is about to castrate Bond when gunshots are heard outside. The door opens and Mr. White, the broker from the first scene with Obanno, walks in. Le Chiffre pleads with him, saying he'll secure the money, to which White replies, Money isn't as important to our organization as knowing who to trust. White shoots Le Chiffre in the forehead, killing him.\n\nBond wakes up in a hospital bed during a haze while he recovers. He talks to Mathis, whom he believes was responsible for his and Vesper's capture by Le Chiffre. MI6 agents appear, taze Mathis and drag him away.\n\nVesper visits Bond and they confess their love for each other. The Swiss banker in charge of the winnings account visits and Bond gives Vesper the password to key in; the password is her own first name. Bond resigns from the service to go away with Vesper, and they sail to Venice, Italy where Vesper says she'll get the money and Bond will get the supplies for the trip. When M phones 007 about his resignation, she says that they need to talk about the money being returned to the British government first, which tips off 007 that Vesper was using him all along. 007 follows Vesper to a secret meeting where she turns the money over, in cash, to a man named Gettler. Gettler and a few of his men retreat to a building being renovated and a gunfight ensues. Bond shoots and ruptures the flotation bags that hold the building above water-level and fights with them all, killing them. He tries to save Vesper, locked in an old elevator, but is unable to after she commits suicide by drowning herself. Bond recovers her body and takes her above water but is unable to revive her. Mr. White, who'd been watching the scene, is seen leaving with the suitcase full of money.\n\nSitting on the sailboat he and Vesper had been vacationing on, Bond talks to M, who informs him that Vesper had a boyfriend who was being held by Le Chiffre's organization. She had intended to pay off Le Chiffre's associates with the money to secure her boyfriend's release. M believes that there are no further leads, that the trail has gone cold. Bond examines Vesper's cell phone and finds the phone number of Mr. White, which he theorized she left for him on purpose. At Lake Como in Northern Italy, White arrives at a palatial estate. After he exits his car, he receives a phone call from someone telling him they need to talk. Asking who the caller is, White is suddenly shot in the leg by a sniper. He falls to the ground and crawls toward the house. As he tries to climb the stairs and the familiar Bond theme begins to play, Bond appears carrying a cell phone and an HK rifle. As White looks up defiantly, Bond says The name's Bond. James Bond.

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 OK, I see why that file is transcoding. It has a profile level of 5.1. The Roku can only handle a profile up to 4.1 reliably. Not sure if that is the same cause on the other files it is transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) thanks! ok - so plex doing it with no transcode is them taking the risk of bad performance or crashing etc is this likely to change with Roku firmware (understanding you don't write it! - is this something that ppl wish for - or is it a limitation of the hardware?)

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well it is just a question of following the Roku spec or not. Basically you can follow it like I'm doing or take a risk that it just won't work or will crash. The spec basically lists 4.0 and 4.1 as the profiles it can accept. It is same with bitrate. Technically a Roku 3 can take up to 25000-30000 kbps, but it often can't handle it and instead lags out and crashes. That is why the limit is placed at around 20000 kbps to keep it below the lag out point. I may eventually add an option in to let users decide to turn off the check for profile and bitrate. It just isn't something that is in there now. Sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 ok awesome - thanks for that - and helping me get to the bottom of it. Is there a voting mechanism for features - as I would defo vote for that I will continue to use both (plex / MB) and report back on stability of both - as I have two ipads in the house that defo transcode (kids) I am not sure I could take a third one at the same time - but I will see! once again thanks!

gcw07 347 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 There is no real voting. It is just feature request and if a lot of people respond or if it is something that would be of use to a lot of people I will usually add it. I really didn't want to do a "force direct play" feature, but may do that or like I suggested before a flag that ignores some things like bitrate and profile level.

user29 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 interestingly plex has the option for profile 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 etc - however I have left the default and it still plays with no transcode (a weirdness within plex I suspect). I admit I may be unique - I would like to transcode as little as possible as I have those two kids ipads that are transcoding. we shall see if anyone has the requirement. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirkster 1 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I am also having this issue. Plex bitstreams all AC3 and DTS directly to the AV receiver but MB3 doesnt. I tried various files and all AC3 audio is passed fine and shows as Dolby on AV receiver but DTS does not, It shows as PCM on the AV receiver. All the videos I tested with are using the 4.1 profile.

gcw07 347 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The name under the dashboard is "Roku 3 (UK)"? If so that is the reason and I will get it fixed next build. Didn't realize they changed the name in other regions. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I will have to fix the dashboard icon for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Luke that should still be fine. It is just the name, not the type. The type should still be correct and using the correct icon. mirkster, As for the name, Inside of the Roku menu, under the About page, there should be a model number of the Roku itself. Is it "4200X" or something else? Maybe they switched the model number slightly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
