Sony XBR-55X810C MKV transcoding

[insanengineer 0]

My setup is a Sony Bravia XBR-55X810C connected via Ethernet. I have my Emby server on my Synology DS415+. My issue is that the Emby server is transcoding when it should direct play my mkv files. According to Sony the built in player supports mkv files. https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/XBR55X810C_mksp.pdf. Am I missing something or is this an issue?

 

Thanks

Are you running our android TV app or via dlna?

I just tried using the builtin video player and using DLNA with the Emby server it plays just fine @1080p

Okay, then let's start with a specific example as "mkv" files can contain a very wide variety of actual video/audio.

 

Please turn on the debug options in the settings for the app and then go play one of these items for a few seconds and then back out to the home screen and press the "Send Log" button on the bottom row.

 

Then come back here and please post :

• the name of the item you played
• the name of the Emby user that was logged on
• the approximate time you did this
• the media info as displayed by the web client for one of these items
• the transcode or remux or direct-stream log that is produced while playing back this item

Thanks.
