crusher11 1101 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I have a few video files where M=3 and N=26, and they play black with giant grey blotches all over the screen, as though the I-frames are missing entirely. This never resolves itself, it's not just a matter of getting past the first second or two. If I force a transcode, they play fine.
Luke 42077 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Hi, unfortunately the reality is, it's the LG-built video player, there's not much we can do about it, other than perhaps detect it and automatically force a transcode.
crusher11 1101 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Well yeah, that's the solution I was anticipating. Resolves the issue for people who wouldn't think of forcing a transcode themselves, and makes life easier for me because I don't have to keep changing the quality settings. It's at least better than the last problem format I found, which doesn't even play back at all so it's even more difficult to work around, but both types really should require a transcode on LG. @@SamES

Unless @@Luke has some ideas, I'm not sure that this is something we can easily detect and force Transcode on. Edited February 20, 2020 by SamES
crusher11 1101 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Has the other issue (was it interlaced VC1?) been resolved? When are we going to see an update? Still waiting on the update that doesn't show the OSD at the start of playback, which is already present on most other devices.
SamES 1057 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Has the other issue (was it interlaced VC1?) been resolved? I've looked at it, just need to work out out the right solution. Edited February 20, 2020 by SamES
SamES 1057 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 How do you mean? Sorry, different issue. Interlaced vc1 fix still with Luke for review
crusher11 1101 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 So presumably rectified in the next update then? At least with the long GOP files I can use the OSD to switch quality, with interlaced VC1 I'd need to change it before even trying playback, which is an extra pain. Why would long GOP be any harder to identify?
SamES 1057 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) So presumably rectified in the next update then? I hope so Why would long GOP be any harder to identify? Not every codec parameter is stored in the library scan and used for playback decisions. GOP is one parameter which I don't believe is stored Edited February 21, 2020 by SamES
