Hello,

 

In first, I'm sorry for my english, I work on it. :P

 

I use a Fire tv stick, and I install the emby app, everything work except when I want stream a 4k hevc movie.

I know that the fire tv stick can't decode hevc, so I want to transcode with this type of video.

 

When I launch a 4k movie, I check the web interface of the server at the same time and I see that the server begin in direct play, then nvenc dec then direct play etc... and at the end emby launch nothing with the message: too many error giving up.

If I use kodi and the kodi emby plugin Where I choose in the parameter to transcode hevc it's work perfectly.

If I choose the max bitrate to 5 Mbits/sec max it's ok.

 

I want to know if it's possible to force transcode for hevc in emby fire tv app like in the kodi emby plugin?

 

thanks to reading me.

Ah - I see what it is.  It is the resolution.

 

The beta version of the app should correct this (by transcoding it down to 1080).

ok thanks. You have an idea when this modification be in stable version?

it's not my device and not my account, and It's complicated to install the beta version with an amazon account from other person.

 

It's the account of my mother in law and I want to live :P

Hi.  The app is being reviewed by Amazon right now.  Should be out in the next couple of days.

Thanks.

I hope the both, but she "share" (I'm not certain it's the word to use) me the fire stick for a job travel.

So I wait to burn my mother in law!
