Heval 4 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Is there any update on this? I have the same problem. Playing h265 content on my Android phone (Xiaomi mi 9t pro) AND Chromecast ultra are extremely choppy to the point of being unwatchable. The audio plays fine. This only happens when the stream is direct stream and the file is not being transcoded. When transcoding is done, it's fine. The problem is I can't force the transcoding. It looks like it's random. I The nerd stats looks fine and the bit rate is really low. I have proper network at home that can get more than 500mps wireless. @Happy2Play please move my posting to a new topic, and add my other two duplicate postings from tonight. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heval 4 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Is there any update on this issue? I have the same with my android Xiaomi mi 9t pro and Chromecast ultra. Network quality here is above 500mbps. External players are doing fine. Even Chromecast streaming with yatse is doing fine. But not when using Emby player. Can this please be fixed?

Heval 4 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) update: I downloaded the file locally on my phone to make sure the network is not the problem, and I'm still experiencing the same problem with Emby internal player. When ever I use external player, like VLC, it plays perfectly. I have this problem also on desktop Firefox and Chromecast Ultra.@Luke could you please have a look as my Emby is now totally useless because most of my content is HEVC. Thanks in advance.

Luke 37064 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi @Heval, can you please supply a log from the app: Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heval 4 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I have logs, but they are so big and contains a lot of personal information, like my domain. Is there any way to share logs privacy friendly? I cant go through every thing, its too much. Is there any thing I can look in to for you? edit: do you need the server logs or ffmpeg-transcode log? edit2: found some strange behaviour or chromecast. When ever starting the movie from the start, it transcodes and plays fine. When ever you skip to some other part of the movie, transcoding stops and direct streams starts and from there very choppy framerate.

I don't know if you have the same issue as you are referring to h264 files. I have only the issue with h265 and direct stream ( as far as I know). This in android Emby internal player and Emby in Chromecast. Using different player or different casting ( like yatse ) the issue does not appear.

Also, what happens when you try to play them? The above pic is the file running on the PC but the ATV app for shield, when I play the above files, every season 1-12 (HEVC Main 10), the circle keeps spinning around and never starts.. if I tell it to use an external player such as vlc or kodi it will work so this tells me its an emby issue, I like using emby player because I like my tv episodes to auto play one after another Edited December 11, 2020 by Skyhigh69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Can you try this on the Shield and let us know how it compares? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heval 4 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I tried it and it's an older version than I have also it didn't solve any. Latest test on my side was done on Emby Server: 4.5.3.0 (latest stable) - Client: Xiaomi mi 9t pro with latest stable (Android 10) and latest Android Emby beta 3.1.69. I will send you a link that demonstrates the issue. If this is not being solved in near future I have to look for alternatieves as my complete h265 library is now useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heval 4 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 7 minutes ago, cayars said: Can you try this please: This is not an older version but is a different app that's currently in testing. This app can be installed on the Shield TV along with the ATV version. I installed it on top of my current Emby. Is this the way to do? Now in play store I have update available for Emby. So I assume the provided version is installed? If I go to Emby android app and look at the version it's still 3.1.69. I didn't solve the issue.

I have found another HEVC video that has exactly same bitrate and stuff but plays fine. This is really confusing. Did you find anything in provided logs?
