CBers 6766 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Redshirt. I'm seeing an issue when playing videos whereby the full width of the screen is not used internally but is when played externally (VLC). Internal: External: This occurs on both my phone (Nexus 4) and tablet (Nexus 10). TIA. Edited October 10, 2013 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 CBers, is that Fast 5? What format is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 is this with all video files or specific one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 CBers, is that Fast 5? What format is it? Fast and Furious 6 (mkv). Taken from Dashboard: Video:h264 • eng • 1916 • 812 • 479:203 • 4992 kbps • 23.976 • Default Audio:aac • eng • 4992 kbps • 2 ch • 48000 khz • Default is this with all video files or specific one? Seems to be all videos - I've tested with 6 or 7 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I don't have this issue (tested from two different devices (Nexus 7 2013 and Note). Is is direct streaming, transcoding or copy streaming the video? Edited October 10, 2013 by sfnetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Interesting that your Audio is transcoded but video not, and mine is the opposite way round even though they look like they have the same properties: Do you have HLS disabled on your Nexus ??

sfnetwork 514 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) can you change the video quality setting to higher to force direct stream? (just for testing purposes) More than 5 mb/s should do it for this video. "Audio:aac • eng • 4992 kbps • 2 ch • 48000 khz • Default" Is this a "WEB-DL" or other kind of "pre" release format? It's weird that it copy streams the audio but not video... can you also test a MP4? Edited October 10, 2013 by sfnetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, it's normal Video direct (no need to transcode) Audio; transcode (5.1 track) In your case, it should direct both (if your quality setting are high enough) BTW, good point; I don't use HLS.

CBers 6766 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Is the VQ what changes it ?? My Nexus 10 has this streamcopy for both - I will check the VQ settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) try disabling HLS... It's weird that it copy streams both on your last screen... It should have direct stream when it can copy stream both... Edited October 10, 2013 by sfnetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 do you have issues with MP4? (if you have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have set both phone and tablet to 7.0Mbps and have HLS enabled: Nexus 4: Nexus 10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Luke's right. I can only directstream if the H264/AAC content is in an MP4 container. Otherwise I streamcopy into a .ts HLS stream. Likewise. If I come across vpx/vorbis content, I can only directstream if the container is mkv, otherwise I streamcopy to a webm container.

I only have MKVs with 5.1 audio or MP4 so I never had this situation to test with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this non-fullscreen issue once or twice when I scale a video up from a resolution that's smaller than the device screen. Old 4:3 tv shows would be an example.
