ATSC 3.0 (no DRM) wont play

[JeremyG 30]

Philadelphia just launched ATSC 3.0 which is great because i have been unable to get ABC from either NYC or Philly (I'm right in the middle and they are both VHF)

I can now pickup ABC over ATSC 3.0 just fine, when using the HDHomeRun TV app, but when I try to watch in Emby I get
"No compatible streams are currently available"

Is this some limitation?  is there somethign I have to do like install the HEVC codec somewhere?

HDHomeRun Flex4k firmware is:  20230719
Emby is version:   4.7.14

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

So I have 2 different examples, right after I posted this I rebooed the HDHomeRun (after seeing a suggestion in another thread). Now i get different behavior in that when I try to watch the channel the blue circle animation just continues and I never get the "No compatible streams" error.

So two logs attached.

Sorry looking more there's not a difference in logs really from before/after..its that the logs looked different cause one was Emby Client and one was Web UI.

Oddly enough, it works fine on my Roku, just not on PC at all.

As a test, if you disable hardware transcoding in server transcoding settings, how does that compare?

[JeremyG 30]

No apparent change when disabling HW transcoding.

Could it be codec's on my PC maybe?

• The server can record shows on this channel (WPVI 106.1) just fine
• Those recordings playback on the PC prroperly
• I almost always watch on my Roku anyway,  (i usualy use HD HomeRun app when watching on my PC) but I feel this shouldnt be an issue.

OK there is a good chance this will be improved in the upcoming 4.8 server release.
