MKV in 4k Stopped Playback at 33min (Server Froze)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I was watching a 4k movie and it froze ~33 minutes in.

Server states I stopped playing it - Nope.

When trying to restart the video, the blue circle of loading came up and looped indefinitely.

I'm on the LAN from my Mac using the Brave browser.

The only transcoding I saw it doing was for audio.  It was playing everything else Direct.

When trying to play something else after encountering this issue with the Sonic movie, I got the same looping circle.

Only after a full reboot of the server would the 4k videos even begin to replay.  It seems whatever caused the video to stop playing also crashed a service Emby uses that didn't come back online.

Hi,

Looking at your logs I'm seeing the reason for Transcode is AudioCodecNotSupported. It's taking a 7.1 or 5.1 audio track and converting it to MP3 stereo.
The media file itself has an AC3 stereo track that I believe will play back on a Mac using Brave or Safari. 

Try selecting this audio track to see if it will playback in Brave.  Try it in Safari as well.
If this doesn't work upload the logs from playback and describe exactly what happened when you tried to playback the media.

Thats the odd part.  It starts to play then pauses and freezes the server.  I finished watching the movie later, but the problem occurred at least two more times before the whole movie was over

Have you tried manually selecting the stereo audio track in Safari?

There is no normal stereo track on these files.

From your logs, the stereo track is the bold line below.

Ahh ok.

Do me a favor and try playing that track to see what happens.  If it creates an ffmpeg log file upload it please.
