gokuz 0 Posted Friday at 07:31 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:31 PM It can direct play using external players like vlc and mpv. But using emby latest version it forces a transcode. Hevc Profile: Rext Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25335 Posted Friday at 07:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:35 PM Hi there, did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why it was transcoding? Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Hi, its using yuv422p. Its an anime show, so hdr is not important. Why can vlc and mpv play it but not emby. Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Friday at 07:49 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 07:49 PM (edited) mpv external player can play it flawlessly. Add back libmpv. Maybe that will solve it. Edited Friday at 07:52 PM by gokuz Link to post Share on other sites

cayars 1455 Posted Friday at 10:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:54 PM I do not think the player support the Rext Extensions. Maybe @Luke or @ebr can confirm? Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Friday at 11:49 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 11:49 PM Mpv works. And they were using libmpv before so i don't see why it wouldn't work. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 4245 Posted Friday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:54 PM By default that profile is not supported by Android. Supported media formats | Android Developers Unless there are other documentation Now from a external player standpoint it should work. Not a Android user but isn't the beta app using mpv?

gokuz 0 Posted Friday at 11:59 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 11:59 PM Do you have that apk i can try? Couldn't find the beta anywhere since it's closed source. If libmpv uses the same player as mpv, i don't see why it wouldn't work since mpv is open source. But there's no toggle to change players from exo to libmpv. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 4245 Posted Saturday at 12:06 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:06 AM I would look in the Testing Area in the Android section. Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Saturday at 03:06 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:06 AM (edited) Still can't find it. Hope you guys add a toggle to use libmpv. Edited Saturday at 03:06 AM by gokuz Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 1455 Posted Saturday at 03:40 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:40 AM Android uses ExoPlayer. Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Sunday at 02:23 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:23 AM It was using libmpv previously. Jellyfin can't even use libmpv due to no man power. Why not just use libmpv. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25335 Posted Sunday at 02:31 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:31 AM It's not a question of libmpv or not. What we're doing now is superior to using libmpv. Thank you for your patience. Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your patience. mpv external player can play direct play though. And since libmpv is related to mpv, why do you say exoplayer is superior? Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25335 Posted Sunday at 01:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:41 PM It's not that it's superior by itself, it's what we've done with it. See all the testing threads on the testing area over the last few months for defaults. Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 1455 Posted Sunday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:22 PM The Emby team has done a lot of ExoPlayer customizations. Link to post Share on other sites
gokuz 0 Posted Monday at 06:56 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 06:56 AM Still doesn't explain mpv external player works much better than exoplayer. Why not just use libmpv and optimize it to play just like the mpv external app? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why but it seems the people putting out Anime go out of their way to always use the "latest/greatest" everything regardless of compatibility. Link to post Share on other sites
softworkz 707 Posted Monday at 03:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:05 PM (edited) BTW.. REXT is not just an additional H.265 profile. REXT is where things go wild: https://www.itu.int/rec/dologin_pub.asp?lang=e&id=T-REC-H.265-201911-I!!PDF-E&type=items (pages 250-254) (and where any developer would beg for not having to implement it..)

It's not one I've come across yet, though your point is proven by the fact that a lot of my anime is main10 profile, which already causes transcoding on some clients.

sooty234 178 Posted Monday at 06:12 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:12 PM REXT is likely used in anime to gain detail. This video is 4:2:2. All of the REXT videos I have are 4:2:2 (but none of them are anime). Just about all other videos are 4:2:0. Anime has more definitive edges than live action, so that would be my guess.

softworkz 707 Posted Monday at 06:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:20 PM Comparing 4:2:2 to 4:2:0 doesn't add more detail. It rather adds more fine-grained color values which makes zero sense for cartoons or anime.... Though, I don't have any plausible idea why they might be doing like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
