marmei 37 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I have a poor picture quality with Emby clients when the movie is played via direct play. Emby server: 4.2.1 iPad - Emby Version: 1.8.6 I have the same problem on my Apple TV. When the movie is transcoded, e.g. in the web browser, everything looks good. Same Movie in Plex (direct play): Edited November 12, 2019 by marmei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Is this an hdr video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmei 37 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 No idea, 4K HEVC VLC info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 313 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) No idea, 4K HEVC VLC info: Color space seems to be BT.2020 according to file info, so it appears it could be HDR content. Emby doesn’t currently do any tone mapping (AFAIK) so colors will be washed out, as you have seen. Edited November 12, 2019 by samuelqwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmei 37 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've tested a bit, the problem occurs only with 4K movies. I do not know if all these are HDR movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Ok, we're going to be updating our embedded mpv build soon which will bring a number of 4K & HDR rendering improvements. Let's re-evaluate then. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anrikaz 0 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Yes, it's a big problem with me too. Just switched from Plex to Emby, everything is great but 4K rendering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
