zedd2 0 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I thought i saw a place in the server settings long ago that would allow for force transcoding of hvec/x265? Im not sure why but i have several files that play fine direct and recently some that all i get is audio not video. If i change the streaming settings low enough for it to transcode then i get audio and video. Is there anyway to just force transcode with out having to change settings all the time? Im playing via the android tv app on nvidia shield pro
zedd2 0 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 I just tried to send via chromecast to same device. Shield tv pro and it played with audio and video
ebr 16193 Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Can you please provide the following information both for one that doesn't play properly and one that does (both that are x265): What the last gray bar on the OSD says during playback The media info from the web client for that item Thanks.

ebr 16193 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks but on the first one (the one with the problem) you left out some of the OSD display. It doesn't just say "Direct". There is a "/" and then another letter...
ebr 16193 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 If you look at all the ones that do play vs. the ones that don't is it the audio that is always different? Can you see anything common about them?
zedd2 0 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Ill have to go back and really compare. Going back to the original question is there no longer a server side setting to force transcode for x265

Luke 42085 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 The reason he's asking is that we are trying to figure out the conditions in which we should be forcing transcoding in order to solve this. If we can't then we'll probably need an in-app setting, but we'd like to do better than that if possible so that it works out of the box.
zedd2 0 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 I will help any way i can and provide the info. I just left for vacation for a few days ill return tuesday and then start the comparisons.
