Lane03 14 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I know changes were made awhile ago about what Emby reports as transcoding to bring it inline with how Plex reports it. While I don't necessarily agree with that decision, I do understand it. It looks like the Roku client is still reporting playback using the old criteria. For example, if I have a mkv file where only the audio needs to be transcoded (say from AAC 7.1 to 5.1), the Emby OSD on Roku reports playback as being transcoded but the server says it's being direct streamed. It was my understanding Emby was only going to use the term transcoding when the video was being modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8241 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 What is the app version number? And server version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Beta 3.0.86. Server 3.3.1.0. I had issues with server 3.4 (like many others) so holding off on that version for now, but I believe it was the same when I was on server 3.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snodrog742 31 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This may be part of my issue too with my buffering. How do you get the OSD for Roku to see this, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This may be part of my issue too with my buffering. How do you get the OSD for Roku to see this, please? This is a report about a purely informational display that is disabled by default so I don't think it can be related to any actual playback problem you are having. Thanks.

ebr 14903 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This app doesn't jump through the hoops to determine the difference between a remux and a full transcode at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It does if I don't know what it's actually doing, direct streaming or transcoding. So do you care to share how to enable the display?

speechles 1917 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) This app doesn't jump through the hoops to determine the difference between a remux and a full transcode at this point. if transcodingInfo.TranscodeReasons <> invalid if transcodingInfo.isAudioDirect = true and transcodingInfo.isVideoDirect = true method = "DirectStream Video & Audio" else if transcodingInfo.isVideoDirect = true method = "DirectStream Video - Transcode Audio" else if transcodingInfo.isAudioDirect = true method = "Transcode Video - DirectStream Audio" else method = "Transcode Video & Audio" end if end if There isn't really much hoops to jump through. The session info contains the transcoding info above. Once you get that you can figure out the method without using the transcode reason.

There is a debug option in the settings but I don't suggest leaving it on as it will slow down the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
