Luke 30149 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If you're running beta versions then it's important to stay up to date with the latest. Please update, then if the issue persists, please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well the mediaSource.Name property is something that should only be used for display purposes. What you would need to do is look at mediaSource.MediaStreams, find the first video stream and check the Codec property of that stream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunabouzu 4 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The same seems to be happening with Hi10P. On my Kodi addon I have enabled only Hi10P force transcode (H265 is disabled) and in the last week or so it stopped transcoding (keeps direct playing).

Sunabouzu 4 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Installed the beta add-on and confirm it is transcoding again. However subtitle selection is not working -- playback starts without allowing to choose which subtitle to burn into the transcoding, which was the previous behavior. Tested on several files with the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4127 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) I don't know what could be the problem, it's an add-on provided by Team Kodi so it should work. I've tested force transcode and it works fine here. It also let's me select audio/sub track. Make sure this setting is enabled, in the add-on settings > video playback > Enable audio/subtitle selection under Transcode.
