Why is this transcoding

[gcorgnet 1]

Hey guys,

 

Running Emby Server on my Synology DS216j and a client on a nvidia Shield (Android TV)

 

I am wondering why some files are having to be transcoded (see attached log)

The same file seems OK when running in Emby Theater (on my PC)

 

Anything I should be doing different? Any way you guys can help?

 

Thanks

Hi.  Please see: why is my media transcoding?

 

If that doesn't answer your question, then please attach the information requested in How to Report a Problem

 

Thanks.

Sorry, could have sworn I attached that log.

Sorry, could have sworn I attached that log.

Stream mapping:

  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (mpeg4 (native) -> h264 (libx264))

  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (ac3 (native) -> ac3 (native))

 

It's doing a container swap and your NAS is struggling to do that.  I don't believe the Shield supports the .avi container, thus the swap to h264.  I recommend replacing your avi files w/ a container that's more recent... mkv is popular and supported by everything.
