TheShanMan 34 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 @Luke, didn't solve it. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is for sometimes working and sometimes not working on the old TV. It does seem like it must be video card related. Do codecs work differently on different video cards or something? Is there something I might be able to do codec-wise? Or is there something suboptimal or buggy on the Emby side? Are there any troubleshooting steps I could follow to root cause this? I know this is an edge case so I appreciate any help you give! One thing I could try, if it's possible currently: The reason I enable and disable monitors or video adapters is to get Theater to load on the right monitor. Back when I set this up, there was no way to tell Theater which monitor to load on or position it, and all the hacky attempts I made to do "MoveWindow" type stuff failed because Electron is so weird window-wise. Does Theater now have the ability to be told where to load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Theater now have the ability to be told where to load? It could just be that mpv is having trouble with that specific file. Over time with new releases we update to newer mpv builds and generally this will lead to improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Is there a way to tell Theater where to load, either via command line or via stored settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShanMan 34 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Sorry, I meant the placement on the monitor(s): size/coordinates, full screen on which monitor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 110 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Have you tested playing directly with mpv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 @LukeI just set up kodi to talk to my emby server and it looks like the videos that emby plays with slow video play correctly with kodi. Obviously it has something to do with emby theater, but in some way must also be environment/configuration related. If there's any way to troubleshoot and find the problem, I'd love to help find a solution that not only helps me, but makes emby theater a little more robust.

Hi, we have a new windows app coming soon, so stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Oh wow, cool. Now I'm curious what I've missed since I don't come here very often. (Goes browsing Theater forum for info about upcoming app...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
