dbowles1975 25 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Can you reproduce this on other videos? Yes. I'm currently working my way through GoT and every episode I watch with subtitles this happens. If it disable subtitles while it's happening it immediately goes back to playing. ETA: Sometimes it doesn't freeze completely. Sometimes the video will freeze and the audio continues as normal then the video will fast forward to sync back up with the audio.

rbjtech 4331 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Hi. The Fires don't support DTS at all and only support DD up to 384kb/s (we may need to check some of the newer models to see if they've relaxed this restriction). My 2nd Gen FireTV's + Sticks all play DTS direct - interestingly the Developer pages don't say they do, but they do play DTS just fine as confirmed by StatsforNerds and no ffmpeg logs .. @@ebr https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/device-specifications.html?v=ftvstickgen2 Edited June 3, 2019 by Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 838 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Sorry for the late answer was away the last week. In our experience, they will play but usually with problems. I have been forcing Emby to direct play the episodes I am seeing right now and it has been playing just fine. Switching between audio tracks is just seemlessly unlike when it is direct streaming. @@ebr, wouldn't it make more sense to first try to direct play the files and if it fails going to direct stream/remux and as measure of last ressort transcoding it?

dbowles1975 25 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Not to sound like an ass but is there any chance we could address the original issue instead of whatever issue this guy who hijacked the thread is having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 838 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 As no one wants to split this... The problem was that playback did not fail - it was erratic and choppy. Something that is very hard to detect by the program. I had a deeper look into my library and found one case of those you're mentioning. One of my movies, simply does not play at all without permissions to direct stream/remux. Allowing audio transcoding does not solve the issue as Emby only tells "Too many errors." and stops playback. ebr, is this worth troubleshooting?

One of my movies, simply does not play at all without permissions to direct stream/remux. Allowing audio transcoding does not solve the issue as Emby only tells "Too many errors." and stops playback. ebr, is this worth troubleshooting? Not necessarily. Emby apps will already direct play whenever possible. If you disable the permissions to force a direct play, then you're forcing the app into doing something that it doesn't think is going to work. If the app did think it was going to work, then it would have direct played to begin with. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
