Chipsta040365 4 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hello all I have a Sony Bravia 4K that i loaded the android version of emby from the google play store Most movies play fine but I noticed recently h264 content has a colored line at bottom Almost as if the video is overlapped and scrunched at bottom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14912 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi. Never seen that before but looks like maybe some sort of transcoding artifact. How is the item playing? Is an ffmpeg log produced on the server? How to Report a Problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipsta040365 4 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Here are some clearer picture of the issue Strangely enough if i change from emby player to VLC player(external pl;ayer option) it plays fine thru emby possibly an update needed in the google play store?

ebr 14912 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 VLC is probably just cropping the very outer edges of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobius 18 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Interesting. I also have a Sony Bravia 4k and get a 'flickering' line at the bottom. Seems to be the same but not red. Basically white and most noticeable during dark scenes. Does not happen on all video and is only present on those that do not play full screen. Rather annoying when it happens. Edit: Sorry, should have mentioned that if I switch to a Windows 10 PC and watch the same video using Emby Theatre; the issue is not present.

Mobius 18 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Seems a few owners of various Sony Android TV's on a Plex forum are seeing the same white flickering as myself and similar to Chipsta040365 screenshots. A short video example from that forum here: https://forums.plex.tv/t/playback-issue-sony-bravia-930e-flashing-artifacts-at-bottom-of-screen/230819/5Judging from tests done one poster here: https://forums.plex.tv/t/playback-issue-sony-bravia-930e-flashing-artifacts-at-bottom-of-screen/230819/14; and the issues from other posters it does seems to have something to do with Plex and the overall buggy nature of Android TV.One poster states that the issues went away after a Plex server update.Models apparantly affected that are mentioned on the Plex forum are:Sony 49XF9005Sony KD-65A1Sony XE93Sony 900FSony 930ESony Z9D/ZD9Has me wondering though; if there isn't something with the Emby server that could be tweaked to remove the issue.Would like to know it others with Sony Android TV's running Emby are experiencing something similar.

Thunderspell 0 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hi, i need help, I just bought a Sony 4k 55X905F TV. and i having the same issue with playing 1080p videos through plex and emby that same exact line just at the bottom edge of the movie and the black strip.i tried to run the same exact video through the native video app on the TV not through the Mediacenter (emby, Plex) app and it works just fine, all my 4K Movies as well. so what i think and i also might be wrong there, That there is something wrong with the mediacenter transcoding for 1080p videos (i tried hardware acceleration option but it didn't work).I am just looking for a workaround and help from Emby Developers on that particular issue which i saw many users around the internet been experiencing the same Issue. If you need more details about the issue please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
