kungfullofit 0 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Need a little help here. I'm very much enjoying Emby, but I'm having issues when watching movies in the browser (updated Chrome v67...). I look forward to working while playing a movie on a spare monitor. Some movies play very well with DirectStream while others are almost unwatchable when transcoding. I'm trying to figure out what's triggering the transcoding/preventing DirectStream. Some hopefully helpful info All video files are .mkv (ruling out .iso incompatibility in browser play) My blu ray copies all use DirectStream - ruling out server hardware, bandwidth, quality settings, 5.1 conversion to 2.0, and other potential bottle necks when playing lower quality/non-blu ray content I thought it might be subtitles, but transcoding continues even after turning off subtitles Below is my 'stats for nerds'; attached is my transcoding log Happy to re-convert files so that Emby is happy and defaults to DirectStream. Thank you! emby transcode log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
