Choppy image on Huawei Mate 10 Lite

[teddybear75 11]

Can you try this version and see how it compares?

Thanks.

 

Tried the 15.january update from play store, still a bit choppy on direct play, but seems somewhat better than before (my subjective opinion).

The dropbox version you posted is still flawless, so im using that for now

The problem is if i disable hardware acceleration to possibly solve it for you, i'm just worried about potentially making it worse for others. That's even if i limit the change huawei.

[teddybear75 11]

That i can understand.

Too bad though, as i would asume it affects quite a few Huawei users?

 

Emby for android with external player could be an option if one wants to stay updated with the latest releases....

What device are you on?

[blinkiz 1]

I have a Huawei MediaPad M5 (CMR-AL09)

[Luke 40077]

I guess for the next release we can try disabling h264 hardware acceleration for this manufacturer. Thanks.

[teddybear75 11]

I guess for the next release we can try disabling h264 hardware acceleration for this manufacturer. Thanks.

 

Thats great news.

I guess for the next release we can try disabling h264 hardware acceleration for this manufacturer. Thanks.

Just wondering, doesn't deactivate hw acceleration cause higher power consumption as it is CPU decoded and thus lower battery time?

[Luke 40077]

That's the only answer i have right now as there's something going on specific to this manufacturer and we don't know exactly what it is yet.

[Coxeroni 26]

What is the status of this? Do we have to use this modified version posted on this thread somewhere?

 

What about adding an optional switch for hardware acceleration, the "Huawei switch"

Please try again with the next update to the app. Thanks.

[Coxeroni 26]

Will do so, thanks.

I am having the same issue on my Huawei MediaPad M5 with same choppy issue. Can play the same file fine in Plex with Direct play but in Emby it stutters.

Not sure if this info helps.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for reporting. Please try again with the next update to the app.

[Luke 40077]

Can you please try this version and let me know how it compares:

Thanks !

[Coxeroni 26]

Works fine for me on my Huawei Mate 10 Lite!

[ToyContinuum 0]

Works perfect on the Huawei M5 as well!

[Coxeroni 26]

Any news how this continues? I sense it is not top priority at the moment (which is ok). Will it make its way into the regular version or do I need to postpone play store updates for emby from now on?

[Luke 40077]

Yes it will.

[Coxeroni 26]

Thanks a lot for the fix!

[neik 870]

Yes it will.

 

Hi Luke,

 

just wondering, did you find a fix for the issue or did you implement the workaround (no hw accel.)?

[Luke 40077]

I've turned off hwa for these devices.

[Luke 40077]

Please let me know if this version is still ok:

Seemed to work fine on my Mediapad M5
