Enter in transcode when it works without it in rest of devices.

 

MP4 - 1080p - 17MBs bitrate

 

The max bitrate was increased

Please provide as much information described on the page below along with your server logs during transcoding  Thanks

Normally this error 'Max bitrate' means that there was an error when the file tried to DirectPlay and so it is transcoding instead.

 

As requested, please provide the logs, etc

I experienced the same event at 6 Mbps bitrate.

 

I went to the "settings" section of the app, and changed settings for "playback". There I set the option for "home network quality" to max (4k - 120 Mbps) instead of "Auto", which was default. After that it will play any video files without transcoding.

 

Seems like "auto" detection didn't work very well.

Both, my TV an my Emby server are connected through 1 Gbps LAN, not Wifi. Though it looks like my Samsung MU8009 only got a cheap 100 Mbps LAN Port. Well done Samsung! <_<

This video looks like it is from a Samsung home video camera recording?  Is that correct?  It is possible that there is something unique about the file format that causes the player to fail.  As I mentioned previously, the error you see 'max bitrate exceeded' often means the player failed to direct play, so it transcoded instead.  This brings me to the same conclusion.

Yes it is from Samsung Recorder.

It plays without transcode in Tizen Emby app (deforming the image) & in default player for Samsung TV (adjust image automatically, started from inbox DLNA player against emby server).

 

Something must happens I have thousands of videos from the same Cam Recorder and play perfect on Sony Bravia 1080p p.e or even in emby iOS app

 

The best add some cuts & captures

 

Could be the problem the pixel size?

It is 1080p 1920x1080

Hi

 

Where are the 3MBs? I changed it globally to 40MBs at the server, could be wrong but I updated the inputs referring to Max Bitrate.

 

 

in-app quality setting set to around 3 mbps,

Where is that option in the app? Could you tell me indications and captures? I don’t find it.

 

Thanks

@Javier GC you have to enable "Allow video playback that requires transcoding" for that user on the server before you will see the option in Tizen (or any other app) under Settings...Playback

 

Though I'm not sure why it would be transcoding if that option is turned off
