pir8radio 1292 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Some of my movies have a single minor anomaly that any other player ignores and plays on... But emby theater stops playback and wont continue. Its the only player that totally stops playing.. When i say minor anomaly i mean a few blocks of digitalness, very minor Ill catch a screen shot of it direct streaming in a web browser and place it below... BUT MY QUESTION IS: Can emby theater be made to be a little more forgiving for these minor anomalies? It sucks to be watching a movie and find one of these glitches and I cant play past it without forcing transcoding or something... Its a very short glitch, So i'm not sure why only Emby Theater kills playback when no other player does. -= removed animated gif.. It was too close to being a video =- Here is a still this "glitch" only lasts 1 or 2 frames but it kills the ET playback process.

Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Are you using EVR, EVR+, or madVR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) lol no clue, default install on win 10 of ET. Whats the difference?

Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Try EVR+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 I just tried all of them one at a time, as well as tinkered with some other settings under video playback.. And they all respond the same... Gets exactly to 50:36 and boots me back out to the movies page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 And maybe post screen shots of your settings. This is on your alienware, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 ET logs should be in the %appdata% or c:/users/username/appdata/embytheater folder. Also post a server log. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/739-how-to-report-a-problem/&do=findComment&comment=22408 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Yes Doofus brand new alienware alpha fresh ET install no other software running on this puppy... here is me trying to play Suicide Squad 6 or so times. ET Log and Server log. (partial, its a huge log file) Keep in mind this is reproducible on a few of my movies with these quick glitches not just this one. ET LOG: <REMOVED LINK> Server ffmpeg remux LOG: <REMOVED LINK> all of the ffmpeg logs look the same every time i tried, shows the anomaly then continues on. Server LOG: I didn't see anything out of the ordinary but if i need to grab the whole log file let me know. Its pretty large Edited January 4, 2017 by pir8radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Are you meaning to transcode? It appears to be transcoding the truehd audio to ac3. What is your AV equipment setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your AV equipment setup? maybe that was the ffmpeg log from when i used the browser to test.... Hardware is using trueHD receiver switches to ATMOS when i start playback so it should be working. need me to find a different ffmpeg log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 There won't be a FFmpeg log if it is direct playing. Makes sense as it should be direct playing to ET especially if you are getting TrueHD on your AVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's transcoding, you've either got your settings wrong or ET doesn't have direct access to the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Emby dashboard says Direct Streaming so sorry my fault.. I was testing on so many players lol.. I just played again and no ffmpeg log you are correct. BUT the ffmpeg log does show that other players skip over the glitch and keep on trucking....

Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I suspect it might be caused by the audio track rather then the video. Can you play the section of the movie that freezes with another audio track enabled other than the atmos track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried this already when I saw the 0:2 audio track errors... tried one of the other non HD tracks, same issue. Doofus I cant screen capture for some reason on this keyboard... ANy settings you want to know in particular? everything is default, VIDEO settings are auto, auto, PC 0-255, no, stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Have you tried switching from stable to edge? You will need to restart ET after the change wait for a minute or two for it to download the latest filters then restart again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Are you using any hardware acceleration and what filter set are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum, I tried edge but I did not restart ET Did I have to restart ET when switching from EVR to EVR+? Because I didn't... Hardware acceleration set to auto Doofus.

Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nope, only when changing the filters as it updates them on startup. Render method is fine to change without restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1113 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) And set hardware acceleration to DXVA2CopyBack. The log shows it is selecting none for some reason. Edited December 11, 2016 by Jdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
