Thanks for you help guys, version 1.4.57 

 

Okay, that is the beta and True HD playback is a known issue with that.  If you revert to the store version, it should begin direct playing again.

Just being nosey, but isn't the video being transcoded as well, from hevc to x264?

Yes, any time we do a transcode it is also probably going to involve a container swap (to .ts) which may also limit the video codec compatibility.

thanks for you help guys, revert back to stable emby shield app UHD HDR Remux plays fine and no transcode, if i select subtitles PGS it will transcode, so i guess you guys dont support PGS Sub, are you going to fix this?

 

the only movie that transcode is Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, reason for transcode Media bitrate exceeds limit

 

here is the log for that movie, again thanks for you help

If you're playing this over your internal network w/ bitrate limit set to auto, it's highly unlikely you'd exceed the limit.  So the question is do you have a bitrate limit set anywhere?

[mata7 45]

the max bitrate limit is set to auto

[ebr 16174]

The beta version does support PGS subs without transcoding.  It is just not going to support TrueHD.  We hope to be able to fix that soon as that is the only reason this version has not been released yet on Google (it has been out for a while on Amazon).

Thanks ebr, can you please take look why im getting the bitrate limit please

[ebr 16174]

Thanks ebr, can you please take look why im getting the bitrate limit please

 

The auto setting maxes out at 80Mb and that source file was 90Mb/s!

[mata7 45]

Is there a way to increase the 80 mb cap? Now wiht ultra hd some movies will have higher bit rates

Change your quality setting from auto to 4K -120Mbps

[mata7 45]

I change from auto to 100 and that fix it, i dont have 120 option, anyway is there a way to have unlimited what is the reason for having a cap for

 

Thanks

120Mbps was probably selected as it is the max allowable under the UHD Bluray standard. Not sure why the Android TV app only goes up to 100Mbps, it should probably be upped to 120Mbps.
