ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If I set it with software as well it uses 100% of the Synology CPU then errors out too. Yes this is with Emby Premiere. Maybe it is because of I am trying with a 4k movie ? Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I had to disable it completely for all my content to work smoothly and actually play on my DS220+ guessing the same would happen with a DS920+ but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 220+ will not be able to handle it in software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingie 99 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 You can always pre-transcode multiple versions of each movie. Sure, it's a lot of setup work, but once done, it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have hope the DS220+ can do tone mapping somehow. Maybe I am wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingie 99 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Any video processing software will work, there are even free ones. I use VideoProc myself, so easy to convert any format to any format. Emby handles multiple file resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks first I am going to see if I can get the 220+ it do tone mapping at least hardware wise. Sense that seems the less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingie 99 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Maybe somebody other than me can answer this... can Emby take a 4k or 1k movie, and make a 720p or 480p version of it? Is that support built-in? Or do we have to use an external video converter software like VideoProc... thanks (not transcoding on the fly, I mean make another file w/ lower resolution and/or frame rate) Edited July 1, 2021 by Bingyyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Weird I set tone mapping to hardware only now and it is working great! I don't get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingie 99 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 good to know! now you can start manually making multiple versions of each movie next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think I figured out the problem. Is it onlythat one movie, oddly enough, that goes from hardware transcoding to software transcoding even when having everything set as only hardware. Super strange.

ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Never mind found a second one that does it too. It is either the 2 movies or Emby. Can't figure out which is the bug or glitch. It is ok though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng4ever 39 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Found a 3rd but all the other movies at same quality always go to hardware transcoding. So odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hi, we would need to look at the format of the movie to see what exact type of HDR it is. What I think is handy (visually wise) is to install the diagnostic plugin from the plugin catalog and restart the server. You will now have a couple other menu choices in the admin section and using the "User Sessions" option will give you more info. If you playback one of these trouble files it will generate an ffmpeg log file. Upload that for us to take a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
