PScherrer Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Hi, Attached you'll find the server.log and remux.log and sample-file that I want to play "Northmen---A-Viking-Saga.mkv" can be downloaded with following link: http://www.coresoft.ch/mkv/Northmen---A-Viking-Saga.zip (41MB) Thanks Pascal remux-99ae9433-82fa-4d60-be11-67f9515df3eb.txt server-63606988799.txt Edited August 17, 2016 by PScherrer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ok, thanks. I think we're stream copying when we should be transcoding. I am testing the sample file to confirm. In the meantime you should be able to get it to play by lowering the quality to force video transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PScherrer Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Ok, thanks. I can comfirm that lowering the quality to 1MB is working as a workaround, but is not so cool to view on a big screen.

Luke Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi, have you tried the latest version of emby server? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PScherrer Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yes, I've checked with latest Server and latest Beta-Server - Version. Same behavior when I set quality to auto. So no picture only sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The issue it this file needs to be transcoded. The problem is all of the video characteristics look normal based on the ffprobe output, which means it's hard to identify it as something that needs transcoding, therefore the issue is not fixed yet. Of course we will keep working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
