Force Transcode H.265 failing?

[jhoff80 94]

One of the bedroom PCs using Emby with Kodi is a Core m5 chip which apparently is not powerful enough to play 4k H.265/HEVC without stuttering (connected to a 1080p display in there, for what it's worth).  I enable the force transcode H.265 option and playback immediately fails (the server never begins transcoding), with an error to check logs.

Could you do me a favor? Go to the emby for kodi addon settings > advanced. Change your logging to Debug. Ok.

 

Redo your test and provide the log. This should print the metadata for the episode so I can fix the error, thanks.

Perfect. Can you give this build a try?

Yes, that build is working, thanks.

[Angelblue05 4132]

Ok thanks, I'll add the fix to the next beta. You can keep using the custom version until then.
