yacoob 0 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Hello there, I'm currently evaluating Emby as a Plex replacement, after getting annoyed with long standing bugs in Plex. Inevitably, I'll come back with a long list of things that I've found, that I'd like to work "slightly differently" , but for the moment, I've discovered that all of my 10bit content won't play properly in the browser. Specifically, I'll get audio only - and a black or green screen instead of video. All of this content plays fine on an Android phone, or through a Kodi plugin. It also plays fine in the browser if I force the quality to one that is slightly lower than the original stream - guess I force the transcoding this way. Here's an example of such content: Codec H264 AVC Yes Profile High 10 Level 40 Resolution 704x480 Aspect ratio 4:3 Anamorphic No Interlaced No Framerate 23.9760246 Bitrate 2462 kbps Bit depth 10 bit Pixel format yuv420p10le Ref frames 1 NAL 4 Title 480P H264 On "Auto" quality, I get a green screen. If I force it to "480 2.5Mbps", I get both audio and video playing correctly. I'd like to sort this out somehow - I'm using OSX, and given there's no native app for it, I'd like to get things working in the browser. This is for OSX 10.13.3, Chrome 64.0.3282.140 and Emby server 3.2.70.0 running on top of a Debian 9.3 box. I'm happy to provide more information as needed.

Luke 37132 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 hi there @@yacoob, can we please look at how this is playing? Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacoob 0 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Sure thing. Thanks for the link to the instructions. Here we go :> I've cleared the logs directory, restarted the server, reload the relevant video's page, and clicked 'play'. The quality was set to 'Auto'. I've pulled up stats for nerds, for a good measure. I got a green rectangle instead of the video, correct subtitles and audio: Here's the file information, as displayed by emby: Chrome 64.0.3282.140 under OSX 10.13.3 playing from Emby server 3.2.70.0 running on top of a Debian 9.3 box. Logs attached. emby-logs.tgz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ok, Chrome does support 10 bit video on other platforms so I guess we'll have to add a check for OSX to exclude that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
