gcorgnet 1 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution mastrmind11 717 Posted August 8, 2017 Solution Share Posted August 8, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
