From Versión 3.2.40.1 beta Force Transcode x265 is ignoring and using direct .

I just test with old version Versión 3.2.36.10 and is working ok.

 

Dont know if a server issue or kodi plugin.

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 !

Someone else reported an issue regarding this, I'll be putting out a new build to fix it... I'm guessing it's the same issue.

Hi @@Angelblue05 , i just checked the last kodi plugin version 2.3.58 and is not fixed.

Tested with lastest emby Server Beta Version 3.2.40.6

With old emby server version 3.2.36.10 is working ok.

Hi i was checking logs, and i did some tests:

 

In emby version 3.2.36.10 the var in kodi addon videotrack = self.item['MediaSources'][0]['Name'] is getting "1080P/HEVC/AC3"

in newer emby server versions the same var is getting the name of the movie so never is entering in  if transcodeH265 conditional sentence.

 

In the new server versions the "item playback info is":

{"MediaSources":[{"Protocol":"File","Id":"db47966a20130295841e4774635c65f5","Path":"/var/plex/x265/La Torre oscura (2017) [Rip 1080p x265 Dual Subs].mkv","Type":"Default","Container":"mkv,webm","Name":"La Torre oscura (2017) [Rip 1080p x265 Dual Subs].mkv","IsRemote":false,"ETag":"817a96c9b8e56a37f18485fbaf257828","RunTimeTicks":56847360000,"ReadAtNativeFramerate":false,"IgnoreDts":false,"IgnoreIndex":false,"GenPtsInput":false,"SupportsTranscoding":true,"SupportsDirectStream":true,"SupportsDirectPlay":true,"IsInfiniteStream":false,"RequiresOpening":false,"RequiresClosing":false,"SupportsProbing":true,"RequiresLooping":false,"VideoType":"VideoFile","MediaStreams":[{"Codec":"ac3","Language":"spa","TimeBase":"1/1000","CodecTimeBase":"1/48000","Title":"AC3 5.1 @ 640 kbps","DisplayTitle":"Spa Dolby Digital 5.1

Thanks. I guess it wasn't the same error as the other person reported. Hum. @@Luke so how do we know the file is h265? Does it not return the value that contains the video/audio codec/resolution anymore?

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.

Ok, I'll make the changes then. Thank you.

Sounds good. Make sure to handle the situation of the info being unknown, for example, you may not find any video stream at all.

Yep, I will. Thank you.

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).

 

My server version is 3.2.60.0

My addon version is 2.3.61

Sorry as you can see by checking the changelog posted in the kodi forums, I haven't updated this yet. But I am currently working to update the playback aspect of the add-on. Thank you for your patience.

Any news on this? Couldn't find anything on the Kodi forums. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough though.

It is part of the current beta 3.0.x

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.

Thanks, looking into it.

Sorry for the delay. It should work correctly with beta. I totally forgot to let you know about it. I fixed audio/subtitles selection.

 

Report back  :)

Unfortunately it is still not working for me. Behavior remains as I described previously.

 

I am on add-on version 3.0.10a.

Please provide your Kodi log. I don't have that issue anymore, thank you.

I would like to but I have Kodi installed on an Android TV, so not sure where they are and how to access them.

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.
