softworkz 3325 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi guys, I think this is not an issue related to hw acceleration. The reason why some of you are seeing a difference between hw and sw encoding is that we are currently not producing consistent results between hw accelerated encoding and sw encoding with regards to the resulting bandwidth of the video. That has the effect that hw accelerated encoding often produces video at a much higher bitrate than sw encoding. I tend to believe that this might be a problem of Chrome not playing along when the amount of data is getting too large and not downloading the hls segments fast enough. You could verify this by pressing F12 inside Chrome, then click on the 'Network' tab. There you can watch the progress of chrome downloading the video segments (each representing 3s of the video). Of course we would also need to have a look at the ffmpeg logs to verify that Emby is generating the segments fast enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3325 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 In Chrome, it might also be worth having a look at chrome://media-internals/ after some failure to see whether there is some interesting information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to work fine now with 4.4.0.8. The first video I used which used to stop after 10s has been playing for a few minutes now.
