Oh, now I understand - its Apples fault.

 

Isn't everything....?

When you use a technology you have to follow their specifications, if you don't like them, use another technology.

If 1.5. The container format for HEVC video MUST be fMP4. Why is used MPEG transport streams? Is there a problem using fMP4?

I believe that was unintentional. An oversight that looks like Softworkz will correct at some point. This is the bug we're referring to.

But it was already stated as a bug in other linked posts, so nothing new here.

You missed the point.

 

I asked what the bug was with and never got an answer, other than to trawl through 3 long threads.

 

Now I know, finally

If you actually clicked on the links, they were the specific posts explaining it. A direct answer to your question.

The other part to it is as he describes. Because the segments are being allowed to break video on non-keyframes, this might also explain why some play and others don't. Some may be coincidentally be being broken on keyframes, and played correctly.

More correctly, it is a deficiency as opposed to a "bug" but the reason we aren't using a different container here is because it just isn't as simple as just throwing a switch.  It will take a significant amount of work on (possibly both) server and apps to support the different container.

Softworkz called it a bug, so I just followed his lead. And I can imagine it's going to be a lot of work.

Yeah, the distinction isn't really that important.  The bottom line is it isn't working how we'd like but it also isn't an easy fix.

[vdatanet 1617]

Any progress on this?

Plex had the same problem but now it's fixed, they have found the solution. FYI Here is the Plex transcoding command and transcoding info:

HLS using MKV container? That's very strange.

We've used mkv segments with Theater and mpv before, but have never tried them on android. 

Since this is the Shield, can you please try this and see how it compares?

Thanks.

When using Android app, instead of remuxing it direct plays, so there's no glitching. Are you decoding DTS on the client side? Avoid remuxing when playing DTS tracks on unsupported systems is a great improvement. Thanks!

Indeed this is a server-side bug. The new Android application bypasses this avoiding remuxing, but this is not the common pattern, the iOS application, the Android TV application, MPV for Apple TV..., require remuxing, and then you have glitching. Plex fixed this using MKV fragmentation and fMP4 on Apple TV.

[arrbee99 1815]

Tried 3.1.40 on a Shield (2019) for the same rip (4K 7.1 audio) and mentioned in post #1. Its graduated from playing a bit before going colourfully blocky to just playing a bit and dropping out completely back  to the movie detail page from where I pressed Play.

So it's remuxing as expected. What I find strange is what happens to me, a Shield connected to a TV that does not support DTS, and with both DTS and DTS-MA I get direct playback.

[arrbee99 1815]

Do sometimes wonder if I should re-rip with a newer version of MakeMKV than was used at the time. Or maybe its something to do with my sound bar. Or a setting in the app somewhere. Or whether its a full moon. Talking of which, its not far off midnight so I should probably retire...

Can you share a little sample?
