paul777 13 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 we have a check against anamorphic video. i'm not sure if the device supports that or not.

meatrack 5 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I bought Emby from Amazon last year (before it was free) when the 10' interface was being worked added to the app. Now I need to re-buy this for full functionality? Is that right? My previous purchase from Amazon doesn't count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSattler 388 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You shouldn't have to if you have your Emby Supporter Key added to your Emby server. I still don't get why people would even be upset for spending a little money on Emby. It's a labor of love no one really has made any money on. Sure.. some of the app writers have charged for the app, but look at the functionality we get. I'll never understand this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on the google nexus player nearly everything in Android TV is transcoded, at least for audio. The android player also does not support direct play because of its lack of samba playback. So the best it could ever do as is is direct stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSattler 388 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Especially as it's FREE I say we start charging a small amount for the apps, use that for getting help to get a better native android player built, so we have the same playback options as Kodi =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatrack 5 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Way to jump to conclusions, MSattler. I never said I was upset. I've already purchased the app and I'm trying to understand what I need to do, even if that means having to purchase it again. But keep making assumptions. Also, if I've already spent money on the app, then I guess I'm not against doing that, am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you purchased an app before. Guess what, the rest of us have well. Guess what, I also paid for Mediabrowser 2, and then paid again for 3. If you don't want to pay for it, then help out. Dont' ask what Emby can do for you, ask what you can do for Emby =) And yes, I will keep making assumptions, one of the rights I have for having served this great nation. Cheers!

MSattler 388 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Playback is working well here, need to get it tested out on the kids remote Fire TV Stick, but so far so good.

We had to build this one from the ground up. Also as mentioned, all android apps built by the core team will be free for supporters. No problem, just asking. Everything seems to be working perfectly so far, outside of an initial crash when I first opened it. Is there a way you can add in YouTube trailers for movies? That's not a make or break feature for me, but my wife uses them from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a make or break feature for me, but my wife uses them from time to time. Any trailers available via the Trailers plug-in will be there but the server doesn't currently support YT trailers specifically because their TOS prohibit downloading or playing them outside of YouTube. It may be possible in this app if YouTube is installed on the device (the NP has it by default but I'm not sure about the Fire) but it would still require some additional functionality in the server to support it.

Luke 37994 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 i'm sure the app can easily launch a youtube trailer using the youtube app. the problem will be getting back. the video may end and youtube may keep you there. it might not be something can control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul777 13 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Great news, and nice interface. One slight issue I've noticed is that it seems to always transcode when I would have expected it to direct play from source and my server struggles when doing live transcoding of 1920x1080 video. In my settings on the fireTV the bitrate is set to 30MBps Here is the start of one of the transcode logs and details of the video as shown on the emby webpage h ttp://192.168.0.153/mediabrowser/videos/78e87583b2f5d0317fe7cde5cbe5fb17/hlsdynamic/main/0.ts?DeviceId=ba13856905fc0c33&MediaSourceId=78e87583b2f5d0317fe7cde5cbe5fb17&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=aac&AudioStreamIndex=1&VideoBitrate=29872000&AudioBitrate=128000&MaxAudioChannels=2&MaxWidth=1920&MaxHeight=1080&Level=40&ClientTime=1430049301639&MaxVideoBitDepth=8&Profile=high&PlaySessionId=31248bc270ed4b0c9bfe6e5ebf4ef16c&api_key=11785974edbc4e22b5f5769d4b07aa5c C:\Users\mceuser\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20150110\ffmpeg.exe -fflags +genpts -i file:"\\lounge\media\TV Series\24\Season 9\24 S09E01.mp4" -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset superfast -crf 23 -maxrate 1429344 -bufsize 2858688 -vsync vfr -profile:v high -level 40 -force_key_frames expr:gte(t,n_forced*3) -vf "scale=min(max(iw\,ih*dar)\,1280):trunc(ow/dar/2)*2" -flags -global_header -copyts -sc_threshold 0 -codec:a:0 aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 128000 -af "adelay=1,aresample=async=1" -hls_time 3 -start_number 0 -hls_list_size 0 -y "D:\Mediabrowser\transcodeTemp\84e4f51b867c474cdeb639d8d8850f0b.m3u8" CodecH264 ProfileHigh Level41 Resolution720x574 Aspect ratio16:9 AnamorphicYes InterlacedNo Framerate25 Bitrate1395 kbps Bit depth8 bit Pixel formatyuv420p Ref frames4 CABACYes Audio Languageeng CodecAAC ProfileLC Layoutstereo Bitrate156 kbps Sample rate48000 khz DefaultYes Audio Languageeng CodecAC3 Layout5.1 Bitrate437 kbps Sample rate48000 khz DefaultNo Subtitle Languageund CodecMOV_TEXT DefaultNo ForcedNo ExternalNo For reference if I play it on my phone with emby it does transcode it but it does a direct stream copy, which obviously doesn't kill the cpu!

ebr 15186 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Keep in mind that the Fire is running on an Amazon modified version of Android 4.2.2. Maybe this isn't related but there may be differences in capabilities between the devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
