Hardware Decoding on mecool KT1 for AV1

[tnowakow 0]

Hi everyone, I just got a new mecool KT1 Android TV device (The one with AV1 hardware decoding) and have been testing the features.  Currently I have Emby set up to open files with MX Player Pro (That is able to use hardware decoding for AV1 files).  Is there a roadmap to use hardware for AV1 files with the normal Emby built in player?  Would love to have this as seamless as possible for the wife/kids.  Thank you!

Hi.  Our player should already be taking advantage of the decoders available on the device.  Have you tested it?

Yeah, I just tested it again and it says:

Streaming Info
Video Resolution: 1920x1080
Video Codec: AV1 (direct)
Audio Codec: OPUS
Audio Channels: 7.1
Bitrate: 3.14Mbps
Max bitrate setting: 80 Mb/s
Transcode Speed: 7577.00 fps
Transcode Reason: Unsupported video

 

EDIT: I went into my user and unchecked this: "Allow video playback that requires conversion without re-encoding" and it's playing now! but for OPUS it says (software decode) so i'm guessing OPUS isn't hardware enabled?

Can I please see the ffmpeg log that was generated before you changed your settings?

Thanks.
