ebr 14910 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi. There are no errors in that log. Playback appears to be working fine. What happened on the screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX92 59 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) black screen with non sound. It tries to read without trancode : played method = direct. However the key cannot play 4k video. And I choose 1080@24hz in display option. I try "correction for play". I have the sound and played method = "direct stream" but still no image.

The stick supports it and should automatically downscale if the TV doesn't (as long as you set the appropriate mode in the stick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX92 59 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 The Stick is a FHD 1920x1080 only. Mi Global Home (Output Resolution 1080P (1920x1080@60fps)) My TV is 1080 too. But the is no transcodification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby Server 4.6 will be of help to you in these matters as it can downscale and tone map the HDR colors for an SDR display assuming you have a GPU that Emby can use.

MAX92 59 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Ok thanks. I will wait Emby Sever 4.6 Do you want feed back when Emby Server 4.6 will be on line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hopefully as Luke commented in another thread within the week or so. It's real close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 In 4.6 you need to go into the Transcoding menu on the server and scroll down to the tone mapping section and activate this. This does require a Premiere license and the proper hardware to support it. Once that is setup try playing your 4K HDR content again and FORCE it to transcode so you get this tone mapping. Let us know how you make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you make out. I do this but there is no change. I can't play 4K on my Stick. If I play, I have direct stream for video and when I force "correction for play". I have the sound and played method = "direct stream" on video and still no image. I try again "correction for play" and the video stop with message "To many errors, giving up".

Carlo 4330 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 What happens if you change the QUALITY setting from the cog menu to choose a bitrate less than the current media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX92 59 Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 I have video once when I force "correction for play" and I put 5Mb but the image was very poor. And now I don't success to do the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAX92 59 Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Just to share : I put screen mode 1080/23,98 put it stays in 4k for the video. It doesn't transcode automaticly. And it stays on "codec video : HEVC (direct)" Edited May 21, 2021 by MAX92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 You might have to choose a lower bitrate in the quality settings. In the future this shouldn't be required but this is the first release of tone mapping and it's all server based. As soon as some of the 4K logic is added to the Emby clients this should get taken care of automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for example, if you are playing a 9mb/s video, options over 10 would make no difference and aren't shown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
