nbat58 6 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Is the .avi playback with Emby still a issue, I have tried playing some .avi files today without success, I am running Emby server 4.0.1.0 on the Nvidia Shield? Please don't say that I have to re-mux my files to .mkv as that will be a lot of work and would not be an option.
nbat58 6 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 Well, the .avi files won't play, they just start, I hear the sound starting then goes all black.
Luke 42077 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Ok, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks !
nbat58 6 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 Thank you: Log avi playback issue.txt
ebr 16171 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Is the server running on an Android box? That ffmpeg log looks different...
nbat58 6 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Yes, the server is running on the Nvidia shield.
Luke 42077 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 As a test if you turn off hardware transcoding, does that have any impact?
nbat58 6 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Turning off transcoding does make the .avi files play, is there a setting where only transcoding is turned off for .avi files only?
nbat58 6 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 In the server under transcoding: Enable hardware acceleration when available: no
ebr 16171 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Okay, thanks. That's turning off HWA (which is what Luke requested). Not turning off transcoding altogether.
nbat58 6 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks, should this be kept to off then?
ebr 16171 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Yes if you have a lot of avi content and until we can figure out a way to work around the problem.
Luke 42077 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 No, we're just asking you to try it so that we can collect information. Thanks.
