maegibbons 1267 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi I have an HDhomerun CONNECT tuner and a Qbox running Android TV connected to the telly. Some of the Channels are displaying in the wrong aspect ratio namely 4:3 when they should be displaying in 16:9. The same channels display fine on my Android phone and Chromecast. It is just with the Android TV app that the ratio is wrong. Tell me what i can give you to help and/or is there any way to force aspect ratio? KR's Mark.

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 @ebr. Ok i downloaded the beta again and confirm what I found Previously. When I select any Video media whether it be LiveTV, Movies or Recordings after the title appears at the bottom and spinning circle i get sound and a blank/black screen. I can bring up the OSD go to i and say yes to Playback issues. It restarts but still with no video. Do it again and it come back with "Too many errors" I will follow your link tomorrow with regards to providing logs etc. KR's Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi @Luke @ebr - not sure where that is. Anyway here are the logs and a bit more info. This only happens on transcoded/remux media. When its direct play with no ffmpeg in the loop the videos show fine. Hope you get some info from the attached logs. I will try and turn the debug stuff on the app as well.

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 FYI It appears that no live tv streams will play directly from the HDhomerum tuner. Only recorded content that does not need transcoding plays Basically, anything that needs transcoding results in blank video. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14960 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Can you please go through the process of playing something with the problem and then hitting the "!" button until it ultimately fails and then send a log from the app. After that, come here and tell me what you played and the name of the Emby user that was logged in.

ebr 14960 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The first thing to do is set the Audio Mode in the settings to 'Direct'. Then, for Live TV, also check the boxes to allow using VLC for Live TV and for direct streaming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi @Luke @ebr - any update on this? The beta is useless for me as is and i will need to revert to stable to continue using emby. What changed from stable to beta to have caused this issue? Stable worked ok apart from aspect ratio issues which was the original subject. KR's mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14960 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I needed to get the release out to the general public before I could do anything else on this. Your issue is related to the rare client device and/or server ffmpeg version. I will try to put up a beta today to see if it will address this for you.

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) @ebr ok, thank you ffmpeg is the version that is shipped with 16.04. I upgraded from 14.04 because I was having problems with version 3.2.1 which was recommended in a link on this board somewhere. If you want me to try a specific version of ffmpeg which runs on 16.04 please provide a link and i will install. Obviously the version i am currently running was working ok with previous stable.

ebr 14960 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 You should have access to 1.3.11 in beta now. If you can try with that please let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 @ebr a quick update. I have updated to latest beta and confirm that it is better on initial testing - so thank you for your work. On quick testing when using VLC all SD TV channels work ok from homerun and most IPTV do as well. When not using VLC screen is still blank. Most recordings are also playing but aspect ratio on a few are wrong. Let me play some more over next 24/48 hours to isolate problem areas. Many Thanks once again KR's Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
