Transcoding problem

[karlos227]

I think you saying Dave that you just think 42mbps is rather high for a 1080p film ? Well I agree it’s not the average but as this was a special edition I think they probably just up the bit rate some more.

[karlos227]

Any feedback from devs ?

Thanks for the logs, I was able to track the problem down to an incorrect bitrate limitation being applied to UHDs when it should only apply to FHDs. I’ll put a fix in and try to get it in the next release

Brilliant, so did this change from 4.15.2 ?

Is that the 20mbps limit ? You do realise that was a 1080p file.

I’m saying that I think the two ends should come close to matching, not one end being twice the other.

And now we have seen it on three different clients. different shows/movies,
can’t seem to find a common item between them other then there all 1080p…

If you look at those tv screenshots I did, you can see the bitrate on those, the movie has over 10mbps more, I really think it depends on the film, plus I have noticed older films with more grain can add to bitrate.

[nydave69]

We are talking about the transfer rate of the file… In this case on your local network.

Isn’t that going to 20mbps ? A bug confirmed here.

I run a gig network and the TV is 5ghZ WiFi, over 300mbps link, so all well within my speeds.

When is it supposed to be fixed?

[sLumpy]

This is now available in 4.25.2. Please give it a try and see if that resolves the issue.

Good for me now, not transcoding. thanks!

[em2631]

It works! That’s perfect! Many many many thanks!!!

[karlos227]

Perfect for me now, many thanks.

Hi @sLumpy,

I just posted this earlier not knowing what’s going on after weeks of browsing the forum/web, No longer can direct play raw DJI Osmo Action H.264 / Mavic 2 Pro H.265.

Searching thoroughly the forum again then I saw the 4.21.2 change log states “NEW: Added proper maximum bitrate to player profile” and another thread mentioning about Samsung bitrate transcoding issue so those gave me some hints…

So I looked into the logs (already upgraded to 4.25.2) and saw these:
Mar 23, 2020 17:15:43.888 [0x7f260b7fe700] INFO - [ui-safari-tizen] [MDE] Augmented profile: { "directPlay": { "mp4": { "video": { "codecs": { "h264": { "maxWidth": 4096, "maxHeight": 2160, "maxFrameRate": 60, "maxBitrate": 60000, "maxLevel": 52 }, "hevc": { "maxWidth": 4096, "maxHeight": 2160, "maxBitDepth": 10, "maxFrameRate": 60, "maxBitrate": 80000 }

And these for 4K H264 100Mbps:
Mar 23, 2020 17:15:39.221 [0x7f260b7fe700] WARN - [ui-safari-tizen] [MDE] Invalid profile property; width: 3840 > 1920
Mar 23, 2020 17:15:39.221 [0x7f260b7fe700] WARN - [ui-safari-tizen] [MDE] Invalid profile property; bitrate: 100034 > 60000

And these for 4K HEVC 10bit 100Mbps:
Mar 23, 2020 19:38:24.559 [0x7f268a7fc700] WARN - [ui-safari-tizen] [MDE] Invalid profile property; bitrate: 99900 > 80000

Seems now there’s a max bitrate H264 60Mbps and HEVC 80Mbps where previously before I can direct play these 4K 100Mbps video files without issues, lag or transcoding. Can we please have them both H264/HEVC max bitrate removed or increased like 102400? There’s plenty device out there capable of high 100Mbps+ bitrates…
