Hi there. Since few weeks i´ve started noticing that outside my house there are some films and series that don´t reproduce on TVs. One of them is grand torino and if i try to play it in my house nuc everything works ok but on my parent´s in law tv it shows the loading screen and after that it show an error like: can´t reproduce right now because there is no streams available. In the other hand, few movies that work or don´t, shows trailers that aren´t even related before playing the actual movie/series. How can i get rid of it? I attach the emby logs so you can see it. Thank you in advance. hardware_detection-63922575201.txt ffmpeg-transcode-9c8fc3b3-df21-448a-9c00-dafb9b70b21a_1.txt embyserver-63922575189.txt

Good news — your tests ruled out both of my earlier theories. The index is fine (software seeks return in 0.15 s) and the disk is fine (281 MB/s). The problem is somewhere else entirely, and the new logs point at the NVDEC VC-1 decoder: after a seek it produces no frames at all, so ffmpeg dies before writing anything. Before I explain the details, could you try one quick change and tell me what happens? Dashboard → Transcoding → uncheck VC1 under hardware decoding. Leave everything else as it is — keep NVENC encoding on, and keep hardware decoding enabled for H.264 and HEVC. Then play Gran Torino and jump to somewhere around the 30-minute mark. With 4 cores the software VC-1 decode should keep up fine, and NVENC still handles the encoding. Let me know whether seeking works after that. If it does, we've found it and I'll explain what was going on. If it doesn't, send me the new logs and we keep digging.
