How do I get Picture in Picture in Emby Theatre for Windows Desktop?

[kaj 316]

Seems to be missing? Or am I somehow overlooking it?

Hi, it's not supported in the desktop app.

Any plans? As about the only client that supports hevc it saves my NAS transcoding, but I do like to watch pip on my desktop

What is the issue with Store Theater? And which browser you're using, few of them do support HEVC playback as well (given hardware acceleration available)?

The windows Emby theatre app transcodes, as does edge dev, chrome and even Marmaduke chromium, which used to work... It's no real biggy, just really weird that the only app/browser that doesn't do pip is the desktop one... Seems like a very strange omission

Do you have HEVC extension installed? I don't have issues DirectPlaying HEVC on any of those (Theater Store, Edge Dev nor Chromium)?

Edit: Could you post ffmpeg log for Store Theater transcoding?

Hmm, and this morning Emby Theater is playing HEVC direct.... I'll keep an eye on it and if it starts transcoding, I'll post the log.

And I'll try the extension for the browsers. Thanks for your help.
