no directplay for some 4K video

[FrostByte 5392]

On the server under users profile settings disable transcoding for video which will force it to try to Direct Play

So last night, I made some test disable all transcoding options for my account (2 video options and 1 audio).

All the movies play correctly.

I'll make test on Monday on then generate the logs for different files.

To generate the log, should I keep all the trancodings option disable ?

No I would put those back on as it may cause problems with other videos. But thanks, that was helpful.

Hi.  Please test this with the latest beta of the app.  Thanks.

OK I'l try this new version.

I also upgrade the firmware of my TV

With this version of the client everything is OK on my TV, 4k files are play without transcoding

Heya

Was running into the same issue with my TCL 75C725. I used that workaround with the transcoding and did the trick 

If I join the beta program in the Play Store will this grab the same version that provided the fix in this case or is the app store a little behind the manual installs. 

Thanks

The app store is always behind but it is up to date at this moment.

Hi All,

Im glad im not the only one that has had this issue, i have been putting it off, until my content started to grow in 4k...

I have a TCL 75P725 , it looks like emby doesn't see that it has HDR or 4k..?? 

What would be the best option? Beta? 

 

Thank You

Hi.  For a fix right now, yes.  We hope to release the current beta within the next few weeks.
