acnp77 61 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) will do... thanks on the other hand: in post #7 the problem is described exactly and in detail, as requested by you... and it also states very clearly: "- I tried to use MB-Server and kodi clients with DLNA and no transcoding in my LAN (No kodi-emby-addon), as this is the setup that suits my need the best." did you even read the post?

Happy2Play 8351 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 To me it sound more like a Kodi config since you can send "Play-to" anything you want to Kodi, but Kodi can't get "DLNA" everything properly. But you still need to produce logs requested showing transcoding to determine why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37214 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I saw and read the post but there is no specific example that we can look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnp77 61 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 ok, I wil try to get some log files that can provide you some useful information. thanks. I do not think it is a Kodi config issue- there are no further options for DLNA in kodi as far as I know. The "play to" - is also "DLNA" (In the "play-to"-menu I have 2 entries for Kodi-client, one for the addon and one for DLNA, I am talking about the "sent to DLNA-Client"). It does not matter if the stream is sent or requested, in both cases DLNA is used. This should not really make any difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnp77 61 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 @@Luke I am prepared to put in the effort and get togeather some logs to prove to you that mb server transcodes a lot that it should not. (I know we are in the "dlna"-post but just to say this concerns streaming to dlna-client and app's) I found this very interesting post: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/29478-feature-to-force-directplay-only-without-any-detection-and-disable-all-transcoding/&do=findComment&comment=282331 It seems other users also have the same problems... gordan has explaind in detail... but no one seems to care too much. All I hear is "here we go again..." and "what if an unexperianced user toches that?" - this can not be an excuse. It is a fact that MB transcode lot's of media that is does not have to. I have a low-power-cpu in my server and do not want to use transcoding at all. MB does not provide a simple option- but claims to do it automatically- but it simply does not work 100%- so why not provide an override? My server is slow and all my clients play all my content. I know that for a fact. But MB does not. I cant always be on the watch for unnessesary transcoding. SO: If I get the prove, will you take it seriously? I do not want to waste my time. One thing a can tell you right now: Missing metadata can cause transcoding, even if not needed. This alone can make MB 100% useless to certain users. Thanks again- cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
