AV1 Videos on Fire Stick suddenly transcoding.

[Darkness7148 1]

Hi, I've got Emby Server on my Synology and two Amazon Fire Sticks with Emby on them. It's been playing AV1 files fine without transcoding but today, it suddenly tries to transcode every AV1 file. Looking into the logs, it says that the Fire Stick doesn't support AV1 which is not correct. Is there any way to edit this device specific stuff?

Hi.  You have a really old version of the TV app but 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.

Yeah, I did that after I encountered the issue. Still tries to transcode it.

Nevermind. You were right. I didn't realise you had merged the Emby For TV app into the main one. Installing that has done the trick.
