Coming from an off-topic post on https://forums.plex.tv/t/killing-pmp-for-windows/446526 per request of @DaveBinM This is a long standing issue with the Android TV app on Nvidia SHIELD TV (the android app in general actually, as this also affects mobile, but as they generally have less capable hard…

We can have a look at Hi10p support, but from what I’ve seen previously playback on an Android device with a Hi10p software decoder is painfully slow (causing stuttering and frame drops during playback). We should be falling back to a transcode for Hi10p if the device doesn’t support it, regardless …

I know Plex isn’t too keen on having a plethora of settings, but maybe an advanced setting toggle somehow? “Enable local Hi10p software decoding” or something like that. Turned off by default, but possible to be turned on by users that know that their devices are powerful enough? Hi10p has been used…

Both my Shields (2017 and 2019 Pro) and my Snapdragon 855+ based phone seem perfectly capable of decoding Hi10p in software (at least via Kodi, VLC and MX Player - those are what I had on hand to test with) without any stuttering or dropped frames that I can see. I know maintaining a whitelist of ha…

Awesome, thank you for the hard work. This has been the single biggest missing feature for me ever since I began using Plex, and its nice to finally see this support be implemented. If you don’t mind me asking since im just a bit curious, how is this being implemented? Have you modified the ExoPlay…

First off I wanna say that I’m truly grateful that this is finally happening and that we are being heard, thank you so much for your hard work! Since we’re talking players and support I also wanna say that I hope a time will come when transcoding is only needed for lowering the resolution. When I i…

Btw why cant we set a external player on AndroidTV Plex app, like on normal Android Plex app? The Jellyfin AndroidTV app allows this, which solves a lot of issues. As example Vimu player via Exoplayer2 engine + Tunneling, support’s all DV Profiles (on shield), all sub formats including styled ASS, …

[image] ptc96: h264 profile is hi10, or 16 ref frames or it’s 4:4:4 chroma or the audio is dts, flac or opus, and your tv don’t support them FYI we support DTS, FLAC and OPUS via software decoding in Plex for Android. Will be looking into Hi10p, 16ref and 4:4:4 support for the future. [im…

Heres a build you can sideload for full ASS subtitle support, if you would rather wait it will be released in v9.3 which is scheduled for beta in the next few weeks. If you experience any issues, please provide the client logs, and let me know how you got the issue. Steps for fetching logs are avai…

Its still ExoPlayer, we’ve extended it to support ASS subtitles. ExoPlayer is the most reliable player on Android as it has countless quirks and workarounds for various hardware decoders so it’s unlikely we will move away from it anytime soon.
