Some 1080p media files being seen as 1440p

[Chris0248 2]

Hi All, 

I have a very random issue, I’m uploading a 100% 1080p media file and then Emby sees this as 1440p from some reason.  I thought i was doing something wrong so i put the same file through plex and it goes through as 1080p.  Has anyone got any ideas as to what is happening please?

Thank you for you comments in advance.

Cheers, 

Chris

My guess it is something odd being returned by FFMPEG based on the encode of the file.

What is the resolution that mediainfo gives you for the episode?

1080p: 1920x1080
2K/1440p: up to 2560x1440p, in my case I have as 2560x1072, 2560x1068, 2560x1066 for the 3 movies I have.

I have seen some odd resolutions from overseas like 1440x1080, which Emby shows as 1080p.

Emby uses both the width and height to determine it. Since it is wider than 1920 it is given the next size up. Because this is stored as 21:9 instead of 16:9 then it uses clever use of the aspect ratio values to fix it. It is encoded incorrectly and isn't correct and the people responsible made a quick fix with an aspect ratio bodge to the header and still released it to the world that way. These people race to see who can be first. In that race they make lots of mistakes.. often. 

tl;dr - This isn't really an Emby bug so much as an encoding mistake.
