I'll stick the change I was contemplating in the next public beta.  Thanks.

Actually, that change is irrelevant now in the current beta.  Have you tested with it?

Please let me test the beta version, I have the same problem with the Fire Stick lite, my region is Amazon.com. Thanks

Seems this issue may be back? My firestick is having to transcode some HVEC which I think should play direct.

Firestick 3rd Gen (2020), Model code: AFTSSS

 

 

Edxit: Debug Log sent from device as well.

 

14:23:08.994   Stream #0:0: Video: hevc (Main 10), yuv420p10le(tv, progressive), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], Level 120, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 23.98 tbc (default)

Hi.  The device does not support hevc 10.

09-19 14:53:23.689 13737 13737 I System.out: *** Does NOT support HEVC 10 bit

Which is odd considering it is a Firestick 3rd Gen (2020), Model code: AFTSSS

Ad per https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/device-specifications-fire-tv-streaming-media-player.html?v=ftvstickgen3

Video codecs 

H.265 (HEVC). Hardware accelerated up to 1080p @ 60fps, 20 Mbps, Main 10 Profile Level 4.1, Color space 8-bit and 10-bit input with HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG.

 

 

So is this a Amazon issue or Emby app issue?

It is the profile that is getting flagged

Quote

&VideoCodec=h264,mpeg2video,hevc,h265&AudioCodec=aac_latm,mp4a_latm,ac3,eac3,aac,mp3&VideoBitrate=79744000&AudioBitrate=256000&MaxHeight=1088&AudioStreamIndex=1&CopyTimestamps=true&SegmentContainer=ts&MinSegments=2&AllowInterlacedVideoStreamCopy=True&BreakOnNonKeyFrames=True&ManifestSubtitles=vtt&h264-profile=high,main,baseline,constrainedbaseline&h264-level=51&hevc-profile=Main&aac_latm-audiochannels=8&mp4a_latm-audiochannels=8&ac3-audiochannels=8&eac3-audiochannels=8&aac-audiochannels=8&mp3-audiochannels=8&TranscodeReasons=VideoProfileNotSupported

So it would appear this device is not returning updated profile support or capabilities need updating for device.

One thing I have noticed for a while that seems odd is "Level 120"

Seems most if not all of my HEVC videos are reported as "Level 120" i.e. Level 12 which does not exist. Mediainfo reports "Format profile: Main 10@L4@Main", Level 4

Emby does not use MediaInfo, it uses ffmpeg/ffprobe to get media information.  So there are these slight differences.

Oh, well that is confusing, I compared to a 264 video and 31 was 3.1, so seemed like a simple conversion, but apparently not.

Well, hopefully someone can figure out what is going on, because I see no other reason the videos should not be direct playable.

Devs will have to comment more as the log above is showing a profile issue limited to "Main" not "Main 10".  So it is a matter of if this information is coming from the device or a dev built playback capability.

Where was it laggy?

The video itself played fine at correct frame rate nothing wrong with a video playback itself.

But the actual scrolling through the menu getting to the show and basically everything before playback was noticeably slower and just had not a smooth feeling and just like a bit wacky is all I can describe, But pretty much all interactions with the menu were that way.

 

But again the video itself which is the main purpose of this post of course played perfectly fine smooth and direct played.

 

Basically the Amazon beta has a smooth menu and UI, But is not direct playing these main 10 HEVC videos. The Android side load has a laggy menu but plays the videos perfectly and direct plays them.

The TV app probably needs to be more specific in its interrogation of the device capabilities.  Right now it is just asking about main 10 and not a specific profile of main 10.

Anything else needed from me right now to help with this? Are we just waiting for devs to correct this?

This doesn't really hurt me all that much, just a minor PQ hit otherwise my Emby server's 3950x can transcode with ease, but I know many don't have that luxury.
