aahmyu 9 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hello, I'm having issues playing this file on Shield. It plays fine on android phone and pc but i try to play it on shield nothing happens    Im not sure why its trying to transcode on shield while it play directly on phone. Also in the state for nerds it says its x264 direct.  Btw this issue is happening with all the season episode not just this one.  ffmpeg.txt Monogatari - 1x02 - Hitagi Crab - Part 2.mkv.txt server.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Waldonnis 148 Posted June 27, 2018 Solution Share Posted June 27, 2018 Looks like the Shield is reporting that it doesn't support h.264 Hi10P aka "High 10" (only "high|main|baseline|constrained" according to the reason lines in the log). This isn't too surprising, as there aren't many devices that can handle 10-bit h.264 in hardware...if any (I'm not aware of any offhand, personally). A quick browse of the nVidia forums indicates that the app is right and the Shield doesn't support it natively.  Kodi, VLC, or other external players can probably pull it off, but I've never tried it and it would probably be a software decode rather than hardware-assisted. Hi10p is extremely rare outside of anime circles, so manufacturers probably figured it was better to sink the licensing/hardware money into HEVC Main10 decoding instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aahmyu 9 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Guess it's time to convert it to x265. Â Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
