Emby refuses to play mpegts

[tongeha 2]

I have 2 mpegts streams from the same provider. One will play in emby, the other will start and play for a few seconds and freeze.

The bad stream will play in VLC and FFPlay with no issues.

 

ffprope of good stream:

  Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 60 fps, 60 tbr, 90k tbn
  Stream #0:1[0x101](eng): Audio: aac (LC) ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 128 kb/s

 

ffprobe of bad stream:

  Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, top first), 720x576 [SAR 16:11 DAR 20:11], 25 fps, 50 tbr, 90k tbn
  Stream #0:1[0x101](NAR): Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 128 kb/s (visual impaired) (descriptions)

 

Any clues on how to make this work?

Is Emby trying to transcode?  Emby folks will want all related log files from the server and want to know what client you are using.

Same behavior when running emby in windows (4.9.1.90) or ubuntu (4.9.3.0).

Server has the option to play the stream as mpegts or hls. I get the same behavior when using hls.

 

ffprope of bad stream using hls.

Hi, have you updated to Emby Server 4.9.3? Has that helped?
