paxnn 0 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) I have an LG tv with a built in media player. I have processed my library to work with dlna. I use SmartShare from LG. Simple. What do I have to do to insure that no transcoding is done when using the EMBY server. Edited April 2, 2020 by paxnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 You've actually done all you need to. If your media is truly playable without transcoding, then it will play that way. You can disable transcoding privileges in user setup, but, this isn't necessary if your media is truly direct playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Emby just transcodes the video, it's covering up an error/s in my scripts. Ebr why do I have to explain this to you? I just want help turning all transcoding off.

Is this determined by the capabilities/codecs present on the client side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 In case you may have missed it you need to go to the Server Dashboard, Users, Profile screen to disable transcoding. This will be on a per-user basis so you will need to do it for each user if you have multiple. If you media is indeed direct play there is no need to do this as the client app is smart enough to direct play if the media supports it. The risk with flat out disabling transcoding with the directions above is that unsupported media with just fail to play all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxnn 0 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 ebr and Jdiesel both answered your qu ebr and Jdiesel both answered your question. From Jdiesel - Use the Profile page.....I looked at my Profile page in the server....could only upload a picture file. From ebr - disable transcoding privileges in user setup - where is this? nothing found in searching Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The fact that you can't follow the instructions doesn't mean they're wrong. User setup is in your "Manage Server" page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxnn 0 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 server > settings > profile --- no that is not it.... server > settings > Dashboard --- no that is not it.... server > settings > dlna > profiles -- that is IT ... There are no permissions to stop transcoding... I have setup a custom profile for the LG WebOS... Setup the TV as if it can play EVERYTHING... Now for testing. None of you were any help. I would guess none of you have ever try to do it. Golden Rule of customer support...Keep silent if you don't have a working and tested answer.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 But if it is transcoding media no, disabling that option will technically create/attempt to play a none compatible file. Transcoding happens for a reason. What reason is provided for the files that you are playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Device Profile, which is independent of Users, and NOT a per-user basis. "If you(sic) media is indeed direct play" First I got the TV 3 months ago, Second I learned just 2 weeks ago that a full UHD Dolby Vision Rip will directly play on the TV, with the TV recognizing and using Dolby Vision. I have been writing scripts to convert my existing videos since then. IT WORKS - "indeed" - it does. If you doubt me, just tell me how I can prove it to you? I do not like you, but I always share information with others. I have been helped on better websites and better people than on this one. I am still testing the limits of the LG WebOS, I need it to fail so I know what works and what fails, if Emby is transcoding the test videos the LG will not fail and nothing is learned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 No need to argue as the advise was absolutely correct. There is no server config/setting to stop TRANSCODING. There is a per user setting to not allow them to be able to transcode, but can make media that needs transcoding unplayable. If that is not happening then you need to provide all required information to troubleshoot the issue. How to Report a Problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) My Profile page: That is not the same as Post 16. You need the Administrative options for user profile not the user profile. Go to Dashboard-Users and select the user. Edited April 2, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkassassin07 423 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Go have a look at this image again. Specifically the red circles. Look reaalllly close and figure out how you failed to follow the very basic instructions given to you by multiple people that have done nothing but try and help you and in return had been insulted and called liars. Really mate? Take a fucking look at yourself. Edited April 2, 2020 by darkassassin07 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
