vdatanet 1549 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi, This has been talked about a lot on the Apple TV forums, but there is no formal request for it. So I do it here, please add support for MKV HEVC HDR playback using Apple TV (without tone mapping). I don't care what technique you use. Either adding HLS fPM4 support to the server or improving the MPV player. I anticipate that I am not satisfied with you saying that Apple TV does not support that, since most players on the market support it. Thanks 12 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat119 8 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 +1 (x10000000000000.........) I do prefer the native Apple TV player over MPV - it seems to have better image quality (besides also allowing for frame rate matcing ). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderMiner 11 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hello, I support this request and have been using emby for many years (early Media Browser days). We moved to Apple TV three years ago and it is a solid platform. Please continue to support the Apple TV and plan to add some features such as HEVC HDR playback. We use this system daily for recoding television and for playing back family photos and videos from a Windows 10 server. Thanks to the developers and to vdatanet for your knowledge and your community support. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfatula 185 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Yep, totally agree but frame rate matching is rather important too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1549 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I still don't understand why this is so hard to implement, even the Jellyfin cousin has implemented it, not glitching while remuxing HEVC content using classic iOS app: /usr/lib/****-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i file:"/media/4k/****.mkv" -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 copy -tag:v:0 hvc1 -bsf:v hevc_mp4toannexb -start_at_zero -vsync -1 -codec:a:0 aac -ac 6 -ab 640000 -copyts -avoid_negative_ts disabled -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -f hls -max_delay 5000000 -hls_time 6 -hls_segment_type fmp4 -hls_fmp4_init_filename "98b65c4d2ef149d56fd0b74b6e9feaac-1.mp4" -start_number 0 -hls_segment_filename "/var/lib/****/transcodes/98b65c4d2ef149d56fd0b74b6e9feaac%d.mp4" -hls_playlist_type vod -hls_list_size 0 -y "/var/lib/****/transcodes/98b65c4d2ef149d56fd0b74b6e9feaac.m3u8" BTW the new iOS/tvOS version Swiftfin (in very early status) direct plays DTS without remuxing.

sross44 233 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It’s not hard to implement from what I understand. I just don’t think apple TV is a focus for the team. They say it is, but the app is so far behind the Android based apps and the Roku apps it’s sad. We all know that Infuse saves us lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markkundinger 2 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 i would like to +1 this one as well. The wife is not going to use anything BUT the apple tv, and it would be really great if these ripped UHD movies would work smoothly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mi.K 5 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I believe it works by turning off the subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1549 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 13 hours ago, Mi.K said: I believe it works by turning off the subtitles That's not true: HDR passthrough is only supported by Apple TV native player (MPV player does tone-mapping) MKV direct playback is not supported by Apple TV native player, so direct streaming is required HLS HEVC streaming in Apple devices requires HLS fMP4 Emby Server does not support HLS fMP4 So, HEVC in MKV container is full transcoded using Apple TV native player. I hope it is understood, this is an Emby's limitation not Apple TV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37049 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This should be improved with the upcoming 4.7 release of the server as well as an updated version of our Apple TV app. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcampbellksu 0 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Did this ever get implemented or is it still in work? We just got an Apple TV 4K but am unable to play my 4K HEVC HDR rips. Works fine with Plex and Infuse 7 but I love Emby and don't want to pay another subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbijvank 51 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 +1, would be nice if you guys attend to the Apple eco system after the 4.8 release storm is getting down, especially the Apple TV. So that all the functions are on par with all the other clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
