Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 I've added my CCTV cameras to Emby through xteve. in the web client they direct play but in android they transcode and consequentially take a long time to open. what logs do you need to know why they transcode and allow them to direct play. SFN says "unsupported container". they are rtsp protocol
Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) The ffmpeg log from one of them. Thx. here you go. cheers ffmpeg-transcode-e9076e4f-35e2-4191-b868-c575fcd0996c_1.txt Edited February 23, 2020 by Spaceboy 1
Luke 42077 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Can you attach the emby server log as well? Thanks.

Luke 42077 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Ok the app is adding a parameter to the stream url to prevent video stream copying from occurring, most likely due to a setting in the app. @@ebr I'm sure can tell you which one.

I hope @@ebr can make an app update that corrects this
ebr 16172 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 cool, thanks. I hope @@ebr can make an app update that corrects this What do you want me to correct? You have the option "Allow Video Stream Copy" set to false, correct...?
Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 What do you want me to correct? You have the option "Allow Video Stream Copy" set to false, correct...? to be honest I don’t know, I’ve never had to change anything from default to get it all to direct play/stream to date. I guess what you’re saying is I need to check the box for that option? I’m sure you’re going to tell me I’m wrong but I don’t feel that those options are particularly intuitive or explained anywhere are they? To me they seem like unless you are telling me to use them, I wouldn’t be playing with it for no reason. Genuine question though, if the option is so benign, why is it not enabled and hidden or enabled by default?

Genuine question though, if the option is so benign, why is it not enabled and hidden or enabled by default? That option is enabled by default. It was created specifically for you UK guys because you reported that your live streams would not play if we stream-copied them. So that option was created and you disabled it at that time.

So that option was created and you disabled it at that time.not for me [emoji3]. The other guys get their tv by dvb-t whereas I get mine via dvb-s. I have heard you discussing that option with them but it’s never been necessary for me.

Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 Okay, can you confirm whether or not that option was enabled? it wasnt, it is now. and now the channel does not transcode, it now says remux. in practical terms its still a bit slower to start than i'd like and the picture quality is rather blocky and there's often breakup. i see that it seems to be trying to transcode first, at least thats what it says on the OSD as it flashes up. its quicker than when it was transcoding but still just over 10s
ebr 16172 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 It isn't trying to transcode it is just that we don't know how it is playing until it starts.
Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 It isn't trying to transcode it is just that we don't know how it is playing until it starts.so is that the best that can be done?
maegibbons 1287 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 so is that the best that can be done?Whats the reason given for the remux? Can you post the remux log? Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk

ebr 16172 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 It is a Live TV stream. All Live TV is run through the server for consolidation, sharing and security.
Spaceboy 2573 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 It is a Live TV stream. All Live TV is run through the server for consolidation, sharing and security. and thats great, but i think the answer to the question "so is that the best that can be done?" is a yes or a no. or even some advice on how to make it better
ebr 16172 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 I was answering maegibbons as to why it was direct streaming. I really am not sure what improvements are possible as far as starting that stream but there is a LOT of work in Live TV happening behind the scenes right now so hopefully it does improve.
Luke 42077 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Down the line if we're able to implement direct rtsp support without ffmpeg then i imagine that will improve it.

Both the audio and video streams are being "copied" in the remux. Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk 1
