prydda 2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I've set Max stream bitrate on max in embycon settings, yet a tv show is transcoding, its a really large one tho but my system should be able to handle it. I've a Amlogic S922x device which has gigabit network aswell. How can I make embycon never transcode a file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 are you sure it is because of bitrate? Check the Web dashboard and check the reason for trans-coding. In the media info on the Web Client what does it say for the video bitrate? If you still can not work out why it is transcoding, capture an EmbyCon Debug log and PM it to me.

prydda 2 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 No I'm not sure it's because of the bitrate but since max in setting is 100mbits and the file is higher I assumed that's the issue. I'm not sure what you mean by dashboard, I'm using coreelec as my OS. I'll check "stats for nerds" dialog and see if there is any info/warning messages. Bitrate on this file in emby android app: 125,259 kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Is this your server? Do you have admin access to the server? The dashboard you can access using the Emby servers Web interface and clicking on the cog wheel in the top right hand corner. It will show you the active devices, what they are playing and if they are transcoding and why. Server admins can override clients max bitrate by setting the max bitrate on the server, its under the network settings and per user under the user settings in the server dashboard.

prydda 2 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 No, sadly I don't have access to admin. I've sent you a logfile in pm, hopefully we can find something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) from the log it looks like the video bitrate is "BitRate": 125259408 125 Mbs is higher than the 100 Mbs you have set in the client so that is why it is trans-coding it. 125259408 Bits pre sec sounds high for a video file that is 112733467200 Bytes for a 2 hour movie.

prydda 2 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Okay, can you make a option as you have in other min max values with 0 as infinity or make the max value abit higher? Yeah this is actually the first one I've comed across with this much bitrate Edited July 28, 2020 by prydda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You should contact the admin of the server and try to work out why that video file is not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prydda 2 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 The file sure is correct. I sent you a screenshot in pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 are you sure it is correct? what is the files actual size and duration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2349 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 You can now set whatever bitrate you want in the max bitrate setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
