Problems with rewinding

[lordlance 2]

Running a standard Fire Stick TV casting from my PC's external hard disk. I have issues with rewinding that are shown in this video: https://we.tl/t-Vv0l2ZCYRI

However the rewind issue does not happen strangely with file size with twice the bit rate: https://we.tl/t-fARUCdR4k1

Hi there, can you please describe the issue?

Also please provide the details of an example by following how to report a media playback issue:

Thanks !

That's what I showed in the video.

BTW is it possible that enabling transcoding certainly makes Emby transcode when it didn't earlier? When I played the Deer Hunter, the DTS audio was being transcoded when that wasn't the case earlier.

Remember that Emby apps will always try to avoid transcoding whenever possible. There's nothing you need to do to enable this. If you force it you're just going to open yourself up to problems that are mentioned in the help text underneath the option.

If you enable it and you see that it is transcoding, then there is a valid reason for it based on device support, device settings, settings in the Emby app, etc.

I've never heard of that domain. Can you please attach it here ? Thanks.

No because the file size is too large. You can Google WeTransfer - it's a file sharing website.

Is this another example with restricted access to transcoding?

Can you also please describe the issue? We're not always able to watch a video. Thanks.

There were never any examples with restricted access to transcoding in the first place. I already told you that in the 5.1 page.

When I rewind, the audio starts first then the video catches up. Happens with a 17 Mbps bit rate file but not with a 35Mbps bit rate file - strange.

Actually you might have a point there. I watched The Deer Hunter before enabling transcoding. This question is on hold until further notice then.

Can you answer my 5.1 question till then?

Can you re-ask the question about 5.1?

I can't play them. That's it.
