Playback Issues Since TV Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've been stably using version 2.5.4 with the update file deleted for a few months. This is on a Sony 1080p LCD. So this week I bought a Vizio P65 4k TV. As soon as I hook it up playback goes to crap. 90% dropped frames, Total mess until the screen just goes black and sound keeps going. Playing with Madvr settings changes nothing.

 

So next I switched over to the latest version. Playback seems fine as far as stuttering goes, but in exclusive mode it starts by showing a zoomed in upper left side of the video only. If I go to windowed mode and them back the image is fine. It does this every time I start a video and doesn't matter what video. 480p source material is really poor quality too, but I assume it's that I don't have all the settings right.

 

So I fire up kodi. Everything is fine. No problems. Picture isn't nearly as good as I don't have Madvr set up, but at least works.

 

Any ideas? Any sort of log that I can share?

 

Thanks...

What about the latest version of Emby Theater without madvr, in other words, with just default settings?

@@Luke 2nd paragraph above was experienced with all set to auto. Played with different settings and it didn't change. Image quality improved, but still did the zoomed upper left corner thing.

What do you mean by exclusive mode? We don't have an exclusive video mode setting.

Sorry, poor word choice on my part. Full screen vs. Windowed.

What kind of graphics card do you have?

what is your windows zoom/dpi setting?

Kids are watching it at the moment, but I remember 200%. Is that feasible?

Unfortunately this issue is caused by a third party component we are depending on. You should be able to work around it by setting your zoom to 100%. If that's not something you can do, then I can help you update the component within Emby's install folder to a newer version, the only problem is the newer version will slightly degrade UI scrolling performance.

It's htpc only, so I think I can make the 100% work. I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks Luke.

@@Luke, so this fixed my issue if madvr is not selected, but if I check it I only get a black screen in full screen. In windowed all works well with madvr and the picture is great.

 

Going to test picture improvement without madvr now.

 

Edit:and by the way, 100% scaling makes everything TINY. Very difficult to use outside of the Emby interface.
