russman547 0 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I am Trying to play a 4k HDR sample at 60fps. emby keeps trying to transcode and it either fails to play or plays but not in HDR . when I look at the transcode log it shows reason for transcode is framerate? but it also shows max frame rate is 61 so I don't know why its transcoding. I have tried this with other resolutions in HDR at 60fps with the same result. what is causing this. doesn't matter if its emby or blue neon app with force direct play same result Russman log attached TV model: LC-65Q7370U Log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37058 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hi, what version of the Roku app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) By any chance is this a RokuTV? What model name and model number is the Roku device? Edit: Nevermind, I see in the title of the thread it is. I blame the Christmas hangover.. lol Anyways.. Please use the Settings of the app. Find the "Allow HEVC at 60fps" option and enable it. This should remedy your problem. Some RokuTV cannot process HEVC at 60fps and we do not know which models can or cannot. To keep complaints about media that cannot play we must error on the side of transcoding when we should not. Once you change this option your issue should be resolved. Thanks for reporting. Happy Holidays. Edited December 26, 2018 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russman547 0 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ok So checking the box for HEVC at 60fps worked like a charm for my issue with HEVC. now I have downloaded a few HDR @60fps in VP9 samples and I have the same issue no direct play(transcoding), is there an option for this also? Roku specs says it can play VP9 it does not specify frame though... EMBY is awesome i have tried many other server/client platforms EMBY is the best for me.

Sincerely, Russman VP9 is limited to 30fps as per Roku documentation. It appears this has changed and any Roku capable of HDR10 can decode VP9 at 60fps. I can get this added to the code and submit a fix for this. It will still need to be reviewed by the team before it is in production and live. Also it is the holiday schedule and this update may not occur until sometime after January 2nd, 2019. I will work on getting this into the next update. Thanks for the report. Edit: For reference ( Fix #161: Detect HDR10 to support VP9 at 60fps ) Edited December 27, 2018 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
