Limit transcode options

[PVTD 37]

Hy,

 

I have been using Emby for the second day now.

 

I have only one complaint that it has too many options in the transcoding options.

 

I want to give 5 total options, but cannot figure out how to edit this.

 

- Direct

- 1080p

- 720p

- 480p

- 360p

 

(MB will be tested depending on the CPU usage)

The choices are way to many and some people just like to see 1 name instead of 10 different MB options on a single resolution.

 

Can some one guide me on how to change it?

 

Super thanks,

PV

Hi there, welcome. At the moment there is no option in the UI to change this. You would have to edit a source code file by finding this file in your installation:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/MediaBrowser.WebDashboard/dashboard-ui/bower_components/emby-webcomponents/qualityoptions.js

 

Then you'd also have to re-apply your changes anytime the server is updated. Thanks.

Well, I looked everywhere for a file like that Thanks a lot!!!

 

At least, I can hide some of those ultra-long file formats...

 

It doesn't even fit on a 1080p screen.

Another option might be to modify the CSS to remove some of those space between each option so it will fit on your screen. But again, you'd have to re-apply that change for every release.

Not really sure how to CSS that out.

 

So I edited the file, but it still shows all formats.

Can I edit after the install, or do I have to compile it with the edited formats before I install it?

The problem you will run into to with CSS is TV and Movies use the same menu from what I have seen.

 

But css can hide lines,  This hides 1080P-55Mbps but affect TV differently, Don't have any high definition tv but this CSS hides 480P-3Mbps also for me.

/*Remove Transcode options*/
body > div.focuscontainer.dialog.extraSpacing.actionSheet.centeredDialog.opened > div > div > paper-button:nth-child(2) {display:none;}

You should just edit the file after install. At least that is what I do on Windows system, not sure on other OS.

Thanks for the clear information.

I will try this as soon I am able to find some time.

 

Right now after editing the qualityoptions.js, several reboots and reloads, the entire menu stays with all options.

Any idea why?

Browser caching? Try clearing the cache.

 

And to be clear, my CSS idea wasn't to hide specific options, but to reduce the space between each option so they will all fit on the screen. I know it's not what you asked for, but I figured it was a way to at least get everything to be visible on your 1080 screen.
