ryanfinger 6 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Background of my setup... Intel i7 with discrete Nvidia GPU Running Emby for Windows and Emby Theater on the same PC. HDHomeRun for Live TV Issue - some channels are experiencing quality issues which appear to be related to a large drop in frames (see below). I've been trying to pinpoint the issue ever since I switched from WMC to Emby over a month ago. I made a breakthrough troubleshooting today. See below. For 20 mins today NBC and the Golf Channel were both airing the same feed. The Golf Channel feed was very jerky and difficult to watch. Switching over to the NBC channel everything was very smooth and flawless to watch. Not having a ton of time before the coverage would change I grab snapshots from MPV with all the info. Here are the differences in each stream. I also attached the screen shots I grabbed. NBC - Great Quality and Smooth Video Info Codec - MPEG-2 Bit Rate - 13.5 Mbps Dropped Frames - 1 Resolution 1920 x 1080 Original Media Info Container: mpegts Bitrate: 20.4 Codec: MPEG2VideoMain VideoFramerate: 29.97 fps Golf Channel - Poor jerky quality Video Info Codec - h264 MPEG-4 Bit Rate - 3.0Mbps Dropped Frames - 4387 Resolution 1280 x 720 Original Media Info Container: mpegts Bitrate: 8.4 Mbps Codec: H264 High VideoFramerate: 59.94 fps Any thoughts on what I might need to tweak?

ryanfinger 6 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes. It seems to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfinger 6 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Additional troubleshooting... Well, I think this issue might need to be moved over to the Emby Theater thread. I tested using the Emby for Android TV app and the issues went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfinger 6 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ok. I fixed this by adjusting some mpv.conf settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry@tadbs.com 0 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 fixed or adjusted what? I have the same problem on live tv and recordings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfinger 6 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 So, I want to put a disclaimer on this response. I'm no MPV expert and much of my config file I have ripped for various blogs and reddit pages. I've tested it out myself and continue to experiment with the different settings. I'm pretty happy with my experience. That said I have uploaded my current config file to this post. The two settings in question I had to comment out were the following... #interpolation=no #vd-lavc-o=deint=adaptive Hope that helps you troubleshoot.
