rmich 2 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 My Fire TV happens to support h265 encoded videos just fine, even in high bitrates, but it cannot deal with h265 10bit. The Emby app for the Fire TV handles this perfectly - it direct plays the 8bit h265, but will auto transcode 10bit h265 to h264. Now with Emby for Kodi, if I activate "transcode h265/HEVC", it will transcode both 8bit and 10bit h265. If I deactivate that, it will direct play 8bit and hang on 10bit h265. "Transcode Hi10P" doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there any way to make Emby for Kodi transcode only 10bit h265, but still direct play 8bit h265?
