Playback Errors

September 4, 2016

Hi Guys,

So I just upgraded my router (from simply using Comcast's Modem/Router) to a Linksys 5400 (EA9500). I rebuild Emby from scratch on my server, to resolve a few issues, and no I'm getting playback errors and serious lagtag when trying to jump forward/back in playback of files that do play...

Log: http://pastebin.com/T9TxFqc8

Iron Man 2 is the video that fails. I've had no issues playing the exact same file via Emby, previously.

Anything stand out in the log?

September 4, 2016

Hi, is there a transcoding log you can supply as well? thanks.

Do I have a setting wrong? This is within my LAN (via Cat6). Not sure why it would be transcoding...

Here's my remux, as well: http://pastebin.com/HCMJNpdm

Just in case that contains anything helpful...

Well captain america will require transcoding because the only browser that supports that audio format is Microsoft Edge, and no browser supports dvd subtitles.

September 5, 2016

Got it. Any insights into Iron Man 2 failed playback? Captain America plays fine...

For iron man, same situation for the audio format.

i am not exactly sure of the problem, but if you can provide a sample file for testing then i'll look at it myself. thanks.

Isn't it just AC3 audio for these?

What's the best way to trim an MKV file, without altering the codecs?

Here's a 30 second sample, split using avidemux

You confirmed the issue occurs with the sample as well?

Testing now. Sorry

I've already downloaded it and it seems to be playing ok for me.

September 5, 2016

How do I manually open it in Emby?

September 5, 2016

Hmmm. This file plays OK for me. Must have changed something when splitting...

What's the best way to split an MKV without altering the source info?

September 5, 2016

I don't know because most tools that touch it are also going to fix errors in the file when they remux it. Let's try to play with this manually.

first, try running the command line on your own

/bin/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i file:"/mnt/user/Movies/Marvel Cinematic Universe/Iron Man 2 (2010)/Iron Man 2 (2010) BluRay 1080p.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 copy -copyts -avoid_negative_ts disabled -start_at_zero -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -codec:a:0 libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 448000 -af "aresample=async=1,volume=2" -y "/config/transcoding-temp/b19aee88ff4238fc329333625c27675b.mkv"

September 5, 2016

If you can reproduce the problem on your own, then try this version and see if it resolves it:

/bin/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i file:"/mnt/user/Movies/Marvel Cinematic Universe/Iron Man 2 (2010)/Iron Man 2 (2010) BluRay 1080p.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -flags -global_header -codec:v:0 copy -copyts -avoid_negative_ts disabled -start_at_zero -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -codec:a:0 libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 448000 -af "aresample=async=1,volume=2" -y "/config/transcoding-temp/b19aee88ff4238fc329333625c27675b.mkv"

I'm not well versed with ffmpeg, but I think I did what you wanted. I had to change the path to the mapped drive location:

C:\ffmpeg\bin>ffmpeg.exe /bin/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i file:"W:\Marvel Cinemati

c Universe/Iron Man 2 (2010)/Iron Man 2 (2010) BluRay 1080p.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0

have you switched operating systems here? because you posted linux logs earlier.

Sorry. My Unraid server runs Linux. I know next to nothing about Linux, beyond that. I run Windows 7 builds. When I test it and it fails, I'm testing via Chrome on a Windows 7 PC... but Emby, which I guess is the playback engine, is running Linux via Unraid

ok so then try this and see if it reports the original error:
