AV1 Videos not playing in Emby app

[izzy198888 2]

I tried to play a couple of av1 videos on my Google TV, but the videos just load/buffer indefinitely. Is there any solution. I am not interested in transcoding, only direct play. Yes, my TV supports AV1. Built in player plays them without a hitch.

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

So this is the situation. The video just loads and the screen is black. AV1 works on my tv even in Kodi and other video apps.

Can you please play that item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

I am not interested in transcoding, only direct play.

Does this mean you have disabled transcoding in the server?  If so, if you re-enable that, does it play properly?

I have had a similar problem with my Fire Cube when anything AV1 or OPUS audio transcodes, for anyone coming across this thread in the future, AV1 and OPUS work without transcoding if you use the standard Emby app on the Fire Cube when the Emby For Fire TV (2.1.14a) or Emby for Android TV (2.1.16g, the version available to sideload fom the emby.media site) don't work. Worth giving it a shot if you are in the same situation.

Haven't been having problems with my Google TV with Chromecast on my TCL C755 TV with Emby for Android 2.1.21g.
