How to see a movie without transcoding ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So if I understand, it's a problem with my box which don't return correctly if she can play my movie ?

What type of solution could you propose me ?

Do you want to test my platform ?

 

It is possible to force live play with a parameters in emby server or in emby for android TV ?

I think of an available option for Beta tester only, for example

Hello @@Darkjeje

 

Can you post a screen shot of the 'Media Info' section from the WebUI, for the title you are testing with.

 

We can compare that with what @@ebr has, and identify/eliminate any probing related issues.

Is it this what can you need ?

Hello @@Darkjeje

 

It's this screen, which you can find by browsing to the movie using a web browser and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

No worries @@Darkjeje, that's the one.

 

Let's see how that compares to @@ebr, so we can determine if probing is an issue here.

Media info looks fine but I forgot you were on an off-brand device.  I was thinking you were on a Fire TV.  Still, that device is running the same basic version of Android as a Fire (5.1.1).

 

(long shot) Luke, is there any possibility there is a casing issue on the audio codec (MP2 vs mp2)?

 

Never mind, that can't be it since it direct streams for me.

If you want I can delete the audio track to test only the movie whitout sound.

I tested this morning with no audio track, the movie is transcoding but with a better quality 40 fps.

 

I had not seen that the movie was .ts, because all my movies are transcoding in .ts.

I change all my playlist to .mp4.

 

This evening I shall test the same movie but there .mp4 and I hope to be directplay.

Hello @@solabc16,

 

This evening I send you my log ;)

I'am sorry, but I don't understand your second sentence,... I'am French and not very good in english.

 

Could you reformulate your question please ?

 

Thank you.

Hello @@Darkjeje

 

No problem, let me try again.

 

I was asking if the movie you sent across here (http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/33780-how-to-see-a-movie-without-transcoding/?p=360385) was in .TS format as well?

Thank you James for your reformulation.

Yes it was.

 

I didn't have the time yesterday, but this morning I tested the same movie in .mkv and it was not transcoding. But, because there is a but, I don't have any sound, and I don't know why.

 

So I have a problem with my platform to detect if she can directplay or not the movie .TS.

 

James, this evening, if I have the time, I send you my log.

 

Thanks

 

Jérem

At this point I would suggest just getting a cheap android box, as the box you are using may never get proper support.

Then load this firmware on it, and you are good to go. http://kodiloaded.com/smf/index.php/topic,1567.0.html

 

Google Translate

 

À ce stade, je dirais simplement obtenir une boîte android pas cher, comme la boîte que vous utilisez peut jamais obtenir un soutien adéquat.

Puis charger le firmware sur elle, et vous êtes bon pour aller.  http://kodiloaded.com/smf/index.php/topic,1567.0.html

Hello @@Darkjeje

 

Do you have the possibility to setup a minimal Emby Server on Windows, so you can test playback of the same file on your Freebox/Android device?

 

The assertion appears to be that this should work, so it would be good to know if this is a platform specific issue.

Ok James, I test that this week-end.

Hello James,

 

No change with emby server windows.

 

I have just tested the same movie but in AAC for audio track and it was directplay.

So with the MPEG audio layer 1/2 in .mkv, the movie is directplay but without sound,

With the MPEG audio layer 1/2 in .TS, the movie is transcoding and the movie is cut in 2 part in the diagonal, so impossible to see.
