Problems reading music video clips with Samsung

[Tandhruil 26]

When reading music video on Samsung TV the image quality is poor. I thought it was the original recording but I played the same videos on a androidtv app and the video was clean. Looking at the logs it seems there is a problem playing the videos.

The Emby app is up to date

The video are copied with yt-dlp : yt-dlp.exe -P "D:\VIDEO\Clips" -f "bv[height<=720]+ba/b" --remux-video mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%1"

 

thanks

We've had a lot of issue with Opus audio with mixed results, so we removed the support for Direct Playing opus audio.  This should be causing an audio conversion and HLS streaming, but the avi video format needs to be converted as it's not supported in HLS streaming, so it's falling back to a full transcode.

It also looks like there are issues converting the video format which is probably causing the quality issues.

Can you try disabling Hardware acceleration/decoders and test with software conversion?

Since you are already doing a conversion when you download, could you try also transcoding the audio to aac at the same time?
