Guest asrequested Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Just to update. I clearly didn't have to worry about the HTPC losing focus. As soon as I switch inputs with my harmony ET is always there. @. Just going back to the issue with the top (and sometimes right) edge of the desktop showing in ET. The fix you linked worked for a while but now it's back. Am I supposed to turn off updating or something? I haven't actually checked but I just wondered if after I roll back whether it's updating to the newer version and that's why the issue comes back? Any thoughts?

If you don't use that, you won't have the problem. 1
arthurd123 11 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) If your shield is hardwired, unplug it and switch to wireless. There's a know issue with that on the shield. Right that did not help movie pauses especially those big 4K HDR files...not sure if I should change any settings on the Emby Server side of things? My shares are setup correctly too \\servername\sharename out of ideas I have to say. Pointing Kodi at the files there is no issue whatsoever .... Edited September 12, 2018 by arthurd123
Guest asrequested Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Turn off the DLNA server. If that doesn't help, post your server log and send the in-app log and let ebr know time frame when you send the log.
Guest asrequested Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Does it happen with every 4k movie?
Yericus 1 Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Get the Shield except if you are in a pure osX environment AND have games you want to play on the Apple account etc. Ooh sorry had been plenty of answers already. Edited September 13, 2018 by Yericus 1

Guest asrequested Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Is it direct playing, or remuxing?

arthurd123 11 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Is it direct playing, or remuxing? It's remuxing ... Play method: Remux Stream Type: HLS Streaming Info: Video res: 2840x2160 Video codec: HEVC (Direct) Audio Codec: Dolby Audio Channels: 5.1 Bitrate: 80.00 Mbps Max bitrate setting: 80.00 Mbps Transcode Reason: Unsupported video Transcoding progress: 24.80% Original Media Info: Container: mkv Video Codec: HEVC Video Bitrate: 50.84 Mbps Audio Codec: TRUEHD Audio Bitrate: Unknown Audio Channels 7.1 Mind you the Shield is not currently going through my AV Receiver it's doing ARC back to the amp for audio. It's plugged in directly to my TV for now until I will upgrade my AV Receiver. Edited September 13, 2018 by arthurd123

ebr 16169 Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Yes, the message being provided by the server for transcode reason there is incorrect. It is unsupported audio. That is a very high bitrate video. I suspect something is not fast enough to handle it. Try lowering the bitrate setting in the app to something below 50. 1
Guest asrequested Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 ARC won't support that audio. You'll need to go directly through the receiver. 1
Hitsville 37 Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 ARC won't support that audio. You'll need to go directly through the receiver. Roll on e-ARC to more devices.

Guest asrequested Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 A friend of mine owns a company that installs $500,000+ systems. I asked him the other day, with a $2000 ceiling, what brand of receiver do you recommend? He answered with one word. Marantz.

They are really nice bits of kit I have to admit but they do carry a hefty price tag, I don't have a cinema room just a living room setup

Marantz are a bit higher end and can use better components in some cases but the Denon's are still great. I've heard that Marantz's are a bit better for music but can't really confim that myself. Check out the Denon's on Accessories4Less if you are on a tight budget.

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Have always been an Onkyo guy myself, currently own the TX-NR616 which I'm going to sell anyhow, I'm split between the AVR-X2400H or the Yamaha RXV483...Denon looks much nicer though
arthurd123 11 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 DTS-X would come in handy for sure, how are you finding the AVR-X2400H?
Hitsville 37 Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 DTS-X would come in handy for sure, how are you finding the AVR-X2400H?Really good. It seems an upgrade on the Yamaha it replaced, even taking 7.1 out of the equation. Then again to be fair I was using various Plex clients with the Yamaha. Since I got the Denon I have been with Emby. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
