Firestick Gen 3 (2020) AFTSSS - Transcoding HEVC

[VirulentPip 93]

This issue seems to come and go between updates and it's annoying. File HEVC Profile Main10 @ L4 @ Main - This is absolutely supported. Reason for transcode "Converting to compatible video profile" .. I also have Main 10 L4 High - Not sure how these fair atm. Transcode logs attached.

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

Thanks.

Direct Play on the Android app.

I'll also add this behaviour is only present on the 3rd Gen stick (out of the sticks I have) The 4K 1st gen and 4K max is fine.

And did it work well on the same device?

Not sure I understand? I was asked to sideload the Android app on the Firestick (3rd Gen) and report back. I did so

You said it direct played. Did it play well?

Yes, like I said the 3rd Gen stick supports it just it's reported back to Emby that it doesn't.. This has happened in the past and it was fixed, now it's doing it again. Very annoying as you can imagine. 

H.265 (HEVC).  Hardware accelerated up to 1080p @ 60fps, 20 Mbps, Main 10 Profile Level 4.1, Color space 8-bit and 10-bit input with HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG.

Only issue is that the Android app sideloaded will not transcode AV1 it will freeze up and just play audio.. So have to use the FireTV app to transcode it.
