Transcoding problem with YouTube downloads

[mjdbb1 6]

Hi all - looking for a little help.  I use MediaHuman YT downloader to download videos occasionally, and lately anything 720 works in Emby but 1080 does not (when viewed on Roku).

From VLC on 720p: Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
From VLC on 1080p: Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)

So they appear to be the same codec.  The 720 plays fine but the 1080 barely starts and is very choppy when it does play.  Seeing as they use the same codec I'm not sure why it's transcoding. 

I attached a couple of logs - embyserver_720 is after playing the 720 version, and embyserver_1080 is after playing the 1080 version.  The transcode logs where all there after one attempt at playing the 1080.

I'd appreciate any help or advice!  Thank you.

Hi, are you able to play them in the Emby web app?

The 720 plays in chrome and firefox, but the 1080 only works in chrome.  I also tried the iOS app and the 720 works but the 1080 does not.

I discovered something by looking up both files in Media info.  Please see the attachments for the 720 file and the 1080.  It looks like the only difference is the 720 says Main@L3.2, and the 1080 file says High@L4.2.  It seems like this is the problem but I don't know what it means.  Any ideas?
