Alefielm 7 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Hi I have some video files detected as 1080i and not playing to Chromecast, it plays fine on Samsung TV native player via stream from emby. What could be happening? Any metadata I can give you to help identify and solve the wrong format detection? Thank you Edited February 3, 2020 by Alefielm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alefielm 7 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thank you statula, sorry about not reading that topic. Emby server Linux Version 4.3.1.0 Player: Chromecast Ultra ffmpeg Log attached, video shows black screen for some seconds, then start playing (this is new, before it stayed on black screen and I stoped the video)...and it buffers constantly. I have this problem with 2 tv series, anything else works perfectly. Any idea? Thank you!

Luke 36882 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 hi there @@Alefielm, did you forget to attach the log file? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14861 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi. It looks to me like mediainfo agrees with our assessment that this item is interlaced: Scan type, store method : Interleaved fields Why do you believe that it isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alefielm 7 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Maybe I misread, first time I have a 1080i file, maybe that's the reason for the bad playback? forgot to press "Attach This File" emby log attached this time emby log.txt Thank you!

Alefielm 7 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Any idea of what can I try? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36882 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The app tried to direct play the file, but the video player had some trouble with it and so therefore it automatically switched to transcoding with the server to help make it playable. Unfortunately it appears your server just can't transcode it fast enough so that didn't go well either. Have you checked out our media conversion feature? You could use that to convert the file to a more streaming friendly format: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-423-emby-server-34-released/ Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

That means that Chromecast doesn't support 1080i? Thank you!

Luke 36882 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Officially no, it does not support interlaced content, however, in some cases it will actually play successfully. This is unpredictable though and even when it direct plays successfully, it doesn't support any deinterlacing. Edit: I just saw convert is only for Emby premiere Yes we work very hard on Emby and we thank you for your support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
