Emby Server Misdetects Interlaced Media As Progressive

[phenomkrogoth 0]

Hello!

 

Just wanted to start by saying thank-you for creating such an awesome media server!

 

Now, onto my problem.  I have a media file ripped from a DVD in my library, and if I run 'mediainfo' on it, I can see that it is indeed interlaced (480i):

 

I will attach said log, but below is a snippit (notice highlighted fields):

 

General
Complete name                            : EP06_A_Victory_For_Democracy.mpg
Format                                   : MPEG-PS
File size                                : 1.25 GiB
Duration                                 : 30mn 17s
Overall bit rate mode                    : Variable
Overall bit rate                         : 5 896 Kbps

Video
ID                                       : 224 (0xE0)
Format                                   : MPEG Video
...
Scan type                                : Interlaced
Scan order                               : Top Field First

 

However, if I look at the file info using the EMBY server HTML5 site, it (incorrectly) registers the file as progressive (again, notice highlighted field):

Media Info

Video

CodecMPEG2VIDEO
ProfileMain
Level8
Resolution720x480
Aspect ratio4:3
...
InterlacedNo

 

Consequently, when I watch the media file, no deinterlacing happens, and I get some pretty serious combing =)

 

I'm running EMBY server version 3.0.5641.5.

 

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide!

try refreshing from the metadata manager just to see if it was a one time fluke or not. thanks.

How do I refresh the metadata?  I don't see a button for "reload metdata" in the "Metdata" section of the server managerment webpage.

 

Thanks!

Edit the item in question and hit "Advanced Refresh".

Ok, I tried an advanced refresh on the item itself, as well as the whole series, and Emby still reports the video as progressive.

Just 'bumbing' my thread, since I haven't heard anything from you guys for a while =)

can you provide a sample file?

[phenomkrogoth 0]

Can Do!

 

I snipped a small portion of the intro from the episodes.

 

I've been trying to keep the quality equal to that from the DVD, so I haven't compressed it (hence why a small clip is pretty large).

 

If you'd like something longer, let me know, but I assume all you need is the information from the header.

Inputting that file into the server I got this.

Same here. It must be dependent on the input then.

[phenomkrogoth 0]

Ok, then I guess there must be something screwy with my setup : /

 

Thanks for your help guys =)

Actually, I noticed you are using a newer version of Emby.  Could that explain the discrepency?

 

I'm running version Version 3.0.5641.5

[Luke 42081]

I'm not really sure what you mean. but i think it is related to the input

[phenomkrogoth 0]

Sorry, what do you mean by "it's related to the input"?  Is there something I need to change?

[Luke 42081]

the input files. whatever tool you used to extract that small segment probably cleaned up the file structure as well

[phenomkrogoth 0]

I don't think that avconv (the tool I used) cleaned it up, because I tried viewing viewing the snippet in Emby, and it said it was progressive.

 

I've included a screenshot.
