Video doesnt play DIRECT or switch to encode on AUTO

[donjon89 1]

I have series in .mkv with the metainfo posted below. Other brand's player plays this automaticaly (dont know if direct or converted) but Emby player doesnt show anything. Emby opens the file, shows the duration but doesnt move from 0:00 pisition. I got it to show after chosing encode 720p(at first try it asked me to buy premium). Might be a low priority bug, but still abit anoying. Emby also kept the setting for other videos that had no problem with playback and displayed them in 720p next time i played them. Automatic behaviour would be nice.

That is a magnet link or atleast a hashcode. There might be some copyright issues with torrents...

 

Or should i upload it somewhere else?

Let's see what @@SamES thinks, but it  might be as simple as having mpeg4 in mkv direct play.

@@Luke, this is a regression in browserdeviceprofile.  High10 is not supported on LG

Be aware that web0s also reports as browser.chrome so you need to exclude !browser.web0s in the same way as safari and iOS are being excluded in the High10 logic.

 

I'll raise a PR

Yeah, just checked it and this file cant be played from USB storage, so youre right that my tv doesnt support it

Thanks for the update.  We'll fix this so that it transcodes automatically.  It should make the next client release.
