Why does Emby transcode this video?

Hey there,

 

I've noticed that some videos are transcoded, even if it should be no problem to directly stream it. 

The web gui is set to 1080p/60.

 

Example of a video with a higher bitrate, which is directly played:

Example of a video with a lower bitrate, which is going to be transcoded:

I don't get it. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Because web browsers do not support the DVDSUB subtitle format. I am sorry that you perceived this as an Emby problem but you probably want to head over to the community of your browser vendor and ask them to support that format. Or obtain text subtitles which the browsers can handle natively.

No no you get me wrong. I understand why this is going to be transcoded, I just haven't noticed that subtitles were enabled. I have no problem with this behavior.

 

A classic "problem sits in the front of the monitor" case ;)
