Ok how do I force Emby to transcode automatically just for this one movie when playing locally in the home network please? Seems to work fine like that on Emby.

Seems to work fine like that on Emby. Because Fire Stick does not support more than 35 Mbps, in the application preferences it would set 35 Mbps as the maximum bitrate on the local network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng4ever 39 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 The only had the selection for 30 Mbps and 40 Mbps on the Fire Stick 4k I chose 40 Mbps. Seems to be working though! Thankfully. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current model specs: Video Formats H.264/HEVC SDR video up to 2160p, 60 fps, Main/Main 10 profile HEVC Dolby Vision (Profile 5)/HDR10 (Main 10 profile)/HLG up to 2160p, 60 fps H.264 Baseline Profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 fps, Simple profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats This is not true. The native Apple TV player cannot direct play MKVs, it needs to stream using HLS. Apple TV requires HLS fMP4 for HEVC, which does not support Emby and then the content is transcoded. Using the MPV player you can play MKV HEVC HDR but using tone mapping. It does not support DTS and requires a remux that causes the same glitches. The only way to get perfect playback is to use Infuse which supports Emby. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
