direct streaming

[Alexwerilles 3]

HelloIn old versions of Emby, when an audio was not compatible with the browser, Emby avoided transcoding and did a remux, and on the dashboard instead of "transcode" appearing, "direct streaming" appeared when this occurred, and used it well low computer resources. Since the 2023 emby versions, this "direct streaming" information has disappeared and now even the audios are being transcoded.Does anyone know if emby no longer does audio remux? Or was the information just changed from "direct streaming" to "transcode", but it still consumes fewer resources?

Hi, it depends on what you're playing, what browser, what device, etc. It's not something that has changed with Emby versions. The Emby web app will use the full capabilities of what the browser supports.

So I'm guessing those three things are probably not exactly the same as when you tested in previous years, right?

Need to see the ffmpeg log for a specific example.

When it's performing audio remux the log will be named as such and should look like this on the dashboard. The video will say direct play but audio will say transcode.

I would assume OP was referring to terminology used, as once upon a time thete were no separate streams (video/audio) and method specified - even when audio was converted, as opposed to now.
