clarkss12 295 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Using the updated Emby version running on my Samsung smart TV, I am testing the playback of some simple DVD rips. The first test is using the movie "The Final Countdown", but it is being transcoded, so is causing a less than desirable picture. Side item, cannot turn off subtitles, but that also occurs under the ET running on my Windows 10 microPC.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 What are your global subtitle settings? You can access them through the the Web client by going to the "person" icon in the top right corner then "playback settings". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: That worked, not by default there is no subtitles playing. Without the subtitles playing, the video is very good.

SamES 890 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm not sure which version of the app is currently published, but from the log it looks like this is burning in subs. There were some recent changes to support mpeg codec in mkv container as well as direct playing of subs. I'm having a guess but I expect that this version is still in the queue for release. Can you tell what version is installed and I will try and check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkss12 295 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 With the suggestions of how to turn off the default subtitles being enabled by default, my "The Final Countdown" movie is now playing very well with Direct Playing. Another problem of the video not saving position and starting from the beginning. Will make a new thread for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ4Gokou 2 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I too am having the same issue. Some movies will direct play and others that used to direct play in the last release now transcode in this new release. The only way to get them to direct play now is to go through DLNA and not the Tizen app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSJ4Gokou 2 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hey Luke, Attached are the log files of a movie that my son is watching. I can Direct play the file just fine via DLNA, but when I load it up on the Tizen app it transcodes. ffmpeg-transcode-4586b5cf-b78b-4acd-b09d-35329f1ed0b5.txt server-63619631620.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Did you customize your dlna profile? this should be transcoding over dlna as well due to the level 51 h264 @@SamES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When viewing the movies on my TV via DLNA there would be some media files that would not play and show .ts as the extension even though the TV can play that media format. Should I remove the custom profile and try again? When I have done this before alot of my movies stopped working because it showed a .ts extension.

Luke 37053 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The problem with .ts might have been due to our sending back a mimeType of video/mp2t. For the next release this has been changed to video/mpeg and I have already verified that this has cured some transcoding problems on other dlna devices. As far as your profile, well certainly you might want to delete and reapply changes. The downside of having a custom profile is that as the built-in profile improves, you are not getting those improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good day Luke, If that the case, then why we have to reapply the change again, not better to keep as the default profile without any change in this case?

SSJ4Gokou 2 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) The only thing that i am doing with the custom profile is in trial and error to get my media files to direct play. Other than that, nothing really going on in there. I will delete and try again. As a side note, The app freakin rocks!! My wife loves the ability to have a functioning library to choose from rather than looking at folders!! Keep up the good work!! Update: Deleted the custom profile and restarted the server, played the same movie through the app and it is still showing transcoding. Keep in mind that i can play this directly via DLNA.

Luke 37053 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Right, the profile doesn't affect the app, I was just pointing out that level 51 will transcode using the default profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
