Low-Resolution HEVC files fail to play

[andural 0]

Some of my lower-resolution hevc files are returning the following python error after failing to play: Error Contents: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'SD/HEVC/AAC'

 

Emby-Server 3.2.13.0 on Arch Linux.

Emby-For-Kodi 2.3.47

Kodi 17.1 on Libreelec.

 

On screen error message notification reads: "Emby Error - check the log for more information"

 

I haven't checked every combo of SD HEVC files, but the error definitely occurs when I play a file with a resolution under 480p. I've tried it on multiple linux servers and multiple clients. The files play correctly in the web browser and the emby android app.

 

The relevant section of the log is:

Let me know what information you need about video files that are giving this error. I can clip some samples on request too. Here's the FFMPEG output of an episode:

I did a little more detective work.
