Probleme bei der wiedergabe von Medien

[Meathor 0]

Hallo, leider bekomme ich immer wieder artefakte beim wiedergeben von Medien. Siehe Bild... Habe ich was falsch eingestellt? Habe doch nur von nem I5 auf nem I7 gewechselt.mer

PS: Das ist 1080P im VLC wird das ohne dies wieder gegeben.

What client?

How was the media being played?  Direct Play or Transcoding

Probably need to see the server log and ffmpeg log if present for this example.

Hello,

 

sry for bad English.

Direct Play are not showing. Only options in Screenshot is shown (1080p is the Original file). I Steam witch Google Chrome version 133.0, OS is Debian 6.1.112 Emby Server is on 4.8.10. 

Thx.

And the ffmpeg log?  Assume I am looking at the correct playback session appears you have a remote bitrate limit applied.

Here are the last 3 logs

Devs will have to comment as I suspect it will from the extremely low resolution scaling that is happening during the transcoding process they you will not see in your comparison with VLC.

This is my fault or from the Devs?

[Happy2Play 9780]

Well I guess one question would be do you need the bitrate limit? 

Global Remote Bitrate Limit: 2,000,000 bps

But the bitrate and quality shown do not necessarily align as shown per your example of 2Mbps scaling to 720x360 playback quality.

 

 

 

 

[Luke 42077]

I would try removing that and also resetting these customizations back to default:

Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.Preset: Original: veryfast Actual: veryslow
Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.ConstantRateFactor: Original: 23 Actual: 30
Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.UseAbrMode: Original: False Actual: True

You can not go by the client player quality as you have applied a server bitrate limit.

I do not know if the server will even send 1080p at 2Mbps.  Per testing in another topic I believe the lowers 1080p went was like 5Mbps.  But every example you need to post at least the new ffmpeg log.

@Lukewhat determines the extremely low scaling (720x360 2Mbps h264) transcoding this (1920x1080 4Mbps hevc) file?

Had this discussion over here but something really needs documented for this bitrate scaling issue.

???

this is the quality i have choosen

 

All Settings are set to default.

Does not matter as there is a global streaming limit applied per I believe your Network menu.

 Global Remote Bitrate Limit: 2,000,000 bps

This setting override the entire client quality setting.  Or should say you can only set the client to a lower value then the applied limit on the server.

If changin intel I5 to I7 (thinking I7 are faster) is take this effect?

Hi, no the answer is what happy2play described above.  You configured a global bitrate limit, so that's why the quality is being reduced.

Not a cpu issue it is just how Emby is scaling at the selected 2Mbps bitrate.

@Happy2Play Thanks... this Setting was the solution... Prob... Some hint are usefull in the Settings?
