I always forget to specify the device, Alcatel 4047A with Android 7.0, a video sample is ready to be downloaded from this google drive link:

Strange. It appears to play fine for me.

Very strange, with Android TV on the Xiaomi Mi Box the video plays fine as well.

[Richard Branches 330]

Correction: On Android TV the video plays but the audio is not synchronized with the video, I already mention this in another post, there seem to be an issue with DivX and Xvid codecs in emby app.

A friend let me use his LG K350 phone to test this video, it never started to play:

Then provide a log from the android app. Thanks.

I noticed something today in the dashboard, the video appears to be direct playing but it won't go far from 10 to 20 seconds, then it restarts to --:--:-- like this:

 

 

The logs are attached.

Every single DivX or Xvid video I have is the same.

Please try downloading the app from the same url again. Let me know if it makes a difference. Thanks.

Is it a new build?

[Luke 42077]

Yes.

[Richard Branches 330]

It works!!! finally!, thank you for fixing this!, now what about Android TV? the Mi Box does support this codec but they are getting transcoded by some error, can you please check that out?

 

You have one issue left: support for vobsub subtitle or to fix whatever the issue is with the Mi Box because any video codec with this subs is getting transcoded.

[Richard Branches 330]

I forgot to ask you: When are you going to release the new build with the fix?
