alfablac 1 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to understand why this file won't direct play on my Shield (2017 Pro) I didn't easily found its manual stating which mkv combinations it supports.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I believe the Shield TVs decoder only supports Hi10 with the h265 codec and not h264. Edit: I might be mistaken. Looks like Hi10p is software decode only. Edited March 30, 2020 by Jdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Hi10p is software decode only. Weird part is all the other Android devices I tested direct played it even with the ASS subtitle on. But those use mpv and not Exoplayer so it might be requiring the Shield to hw decode it which it may not support. Wish Emby had a more accessible option to use the external player in these cases. MX Player seems to play it fine, but I have to go through many menus to activate it, and it switches universally. In other words I wish there was a temp option to use the external player.

You realize that is doing exactly the same thing - it is just that MPV has ffmpeg inside of it so it is doing the conversion (transcode) without you seeing it.

Wow didn't know that this black magic existed. So, I guess the h264 hi 10 profile with 5.+ level are pretty much abandoned by all devices. I was able to play with Kodi though. Anyway, an easier "play with external player" button would be great. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
