CBers 7113 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Luke - I have Plex installed and it is Direct Playing content, which Emby is still remuxing: Plex Emby As you know, @@7illusions Eber also Direct Plays. Any update on getting Direct Play for Emby ET re-instated please ?? Thanks.
CBers 7113 Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 OK, so with the latest version of ET on my Xbox One (138), it's still remuxing AC3 to AAC, so effectively transcoding and causing the XB1 to remux the AAC to AC3. The dashboard is still saying Direct Streaming, which obviously is incorrect. Ember still Direct Streams the same content, although in the dashboard it says Direct Play, which also is incorrect.
chef 3808 Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Cbers, will the theater in Xbox one actually play a movie from beginning to the end? My experience has been that it stops playing about 10 minutes into the movie. Am I doing something wrong? Edited July 11, 2017 by chef

My experience has been that it stops playing about 10 minutes into the movie. Am I doing something wrong? Last time I tried, mine was doing the same thing. I have since switched to Plex. At least for now. If Emby can get working properly for me, I'll switch back.
FrostByte 5255 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 No issues here playing full length movies. I'm on the latest public update on XB1 and the latest app, version 138 1
Scott310 136 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 I am still experiencing freezing issues but only when the server is remuxing DTS.
Sean Forester 1 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 It is being looked into, thanks ! @@Luke I'm sure you already know, but just in case you're still chasing it down, it appears that ET on XBONE is reporting the device as a windows machine instead of XBOX One.
Luke 40064 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Yea it's just a generic name being reported for all uwp devices.

Dankostanko71 0 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Yes!!!! Thanks for the notification, Luke! Bazinga!!!!
PrincessClevage 175 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks everyone.What the fix for? I never really noticed a problem?
Luke 40064 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 What the fix for? I never really noticed a problem? Most users would probably not notice it. A defect introduced in the March Creators Update prevented our ability to direct play most video files. We had to use a workaround to have the server remux them on the fly into a different format. So basically everything was playing fine, just not in the most optimal way possible.

Luke 40064 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Yes but this is only in relation to Xbox One. 1
FrostByte 5255 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I'm watching The Dark Knight direct play AC3 right now. Haven't been able to do that in awhile. No remux or transcoding at all. Very nice Edited October 24, 2017 by FrostByte 1
techywarrior 689 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Great, will definitely try it out tomorrow (can't tonight) but that whole issue with the stream causing the Emby Theater app on Xbox to stop playback (and later just require a remux) has made me not use Emby on Xbox One for months now. (it's not my optimal playback device anyways but will be nice to have the option again)
coolspot 18 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Ugh, I forgot about this update and tested out the LG app instead of booting up the Xbox. I'll be checking it soon.
