deepac7 5 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Is this still experimental?As per the instructions on "playback" settings, enabling direct play of .ts/mpegts will cause problems in seeking the video.However, after enabling this, the .ts/mpegts files are still being "direct streamed" instead of direct play. The audio is always transcoded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enabling this option will not negate other incompatibilities in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepac7 5 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi. Did you look at stats for nerds to find out why? Enabling this option will not negate other incompatibilities in the system. Just says "Direct Play Error". My AV receiver is TrueHD capable and I am running both my client and server on TrueHD. No question of incompatibilities because it's just .m2ts files which are not direct playing. mkv files play just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 How about posting a sample and your ffmpeg logs? Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after enabling this, the .ts/mpegts files are still being "direct streamed" instead of direct play. The audio is always transcoded. Please note: .m2ts files were always being "direct streamed" (Even before the update). I am just pointing to the fact that, even after having an option of "Optional direct play of .ts" in the new update it has not affected the playback much. It just direct "streams" the audio. On stat for nerds, the video is played without transcoding. It has always been the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-iterating, both my server and client is ShieldTV. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B75wwH2WwWlrYy13Y0NLSFdZVms Video always direct plays, TrueHD is always transcoded. About ffmpeg, I am a noob.

Direct play of .m2ts is not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying. The setting on emby client app says ".ts/mpegts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi. mpeg-ts = mts (or just ts). m2ts is a different container created for BluRay discs. I suppose I should change the description to avoid the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I should change the description to avoid the confusion. Thank you for educating me.I'll change the contaner from .m2ts to .ts Only reason why lot of people keep them in .m2ts instead of mkv is, to save the dolby vision layer although dolby vision + lossless audio in a remux is still in experimental stages.

ebr 14903 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Personally, I would not convert to ts. It really isn't a very good streaming container. I would go to mkv or mp4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
