Morten14 11 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I'm running Emby on a Synology DS416play, which can transcode H.264 4K, but not HEVC 4K. I believe many systems are similar in these capabilities. Currently, if a user tries to transcode a 4K HEVC video, my entire system will hang. It would be brilliant if it was possible to disable 4K HEVC transcoding, and only allow direct streams for this format.

Luke 36876 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi, there's currently no way to do this without disabling all video transcoding for a particular user, but it's probably a good idea to add. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWings 15 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) I'm back with the exact same question, still not possible to only disable h.265 transcoding ? Edited January 30, 2021 by RedWings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanmaCanada 326 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Have your 4k movies in a separate library and deny them access to it. It's literally that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say OP doesn't want to deny access to 4K content, just not transcoded HEVC but allow direct play only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36876 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 There's currently no way to do that, but it's come to before so it's always possible for the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten14 11 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Luke would really appreciate this as a feature. Looking forward to it. I understand if it's not highest priority, but if you could look into it when there's time it would be very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heciruam 23 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 There's a plugin that will kill 4k streams: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWings 15 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I don't want to disable access to 4k (h.265) movies, I just want to prevent their transcoding. Because I have a bug at the moment, if ever someone outside the network launches a 4k movie which unfortunately tries to transcode, my Rclone goes crazy and the Server network card is saturated. The logs are quite strange on this subject, I think I'll open a topic to see this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakes82 86 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The plugin I wrote should do exactly that lol, it will stop any 4k stream that is transcoding or however you setup the options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amb13 17 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Hi I would love if this was added to Emby as a feature. Especially since the puling doesn't work with the latest Emby version. Edited June 10, 2021 by amb13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amb13 17 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Any updates on this? An option for disabling HEVC transcoding would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
