Transcoding is neither here nor there. Mezzmo doesn't appear to transcode any MKV (aka Matroska) if the device profile (in this case Kodi) says the device supports MKV regardless of the codec needed...
All my video files are .mkv, but a few of them have the video using the VC-1 codec inside the container.
I have a few Android TVs with Kodi and/or the Mezzmo app, and VC-1 doesn't play on these....
I agree there are only some small (but probably not for the faint of heart) updates I'd like to see as well. There are reasons I chose Mezzmo over Plex/Emby and all the others that have come and gone...
No worries, I do a lot of work with the Mezzmo db using PowerShell. I just assumed that the images were indexed somewhere and a relationship was created.
What I will probably do in this case is...
OK, that works, but it's really difficult to validate, and verify that I have all the actors' images. Do you have a SQL query that will help? I'm OK with that. Even just pointers to the tables I...
So in my case, I'm just trying to populate the actor artwork for the first time - that is to say, no artists images exist (although there might be a few from my experiments). I don't scrape using...
Thanks very much! I've been doing some experimentation with this new feature, but I'm not having a great deal of luck. From what I've been able to glean from the threads in the forum, the folder is...
I'd be interested in this, as well as pointers to info on how to use the UserPoster feature.
Thanks!
That's kind of my point, Mezzmo doesn't know the difference, so clients can't determine the icon to display. Mezzmo for Android, Roku (Mezzmo App), Kodi 19 w/ Mezzmo plugin (Nvidia Shield). The...
I spent some time looking at what MediaInfo is doing, and it appears as though it reads a few frames of audio in to determine if the object metadata is in the stream. If it is, it figures out that it...
Here's what I'm getting out of MediaInfo:
ATMOS:
Audio #1
ID : 3
Format : MLP FBA 16-ch
Format/Info ...
These are from Dolby test files/bumpers that are freely downloadable on the internet. The Atmos one looks like it has additional metadata, but I have no clue if they are just artifacts from the...
aka Object based audio...
ffmpeg doesn't seem able to accurately identify Atmos vs. TrueHD (etc...)
I know Mezzmo uses ffmpeg to collect media info, but it doesn't seem to get enough...
"Mezzmo cannot get feedback from the device as to whether a file is supported so it is not possible to try playing the file with multiple audio tracks then transcode if it does not play. For the...
If the preferred audio track is unsupported, Mezzmo will always transcode that track if transcoding is on, even if the second (or other tracks) *are* supported? I would sort of expect the behavior to...
More Roku stuff...
If I have a video with Dolby Digital EX Mezzmo seems to transcode, but if I turn off transcoding, the video plays just fine. At least I *suspect* it is due to the Dolby Digital...
This is from DTS to what seems to be PCM stereo (AC3 would be fine). This sort of dovetails with my other post regarding Roku.
I'm using a lightly hacked Roku 4k prf. I just removed the dts...
I generally get about 450fps when transcoding, but anything with DTS seems to transcode at around 80fps. I’m using directx/NVENC, any ideas?
It looks like mpeg2 is supported on Roku at this time, with Roku firmware 9 or later (not discoverable on their dev site, it seems). Some MKVs have this in the container. I can disable transcoding...
Oh and just to add a bit to this, the biggest issue transcoding subtitles are foreign language forced subtitles - I don’t know about others, but it seems as though Mezzmo must/does pre-transcode the...
So the goal I’m trying to achieve is to minimize transcoding. Almost invariably, but especially when there’s an unsupported audio format or something and an unsupported subtitle stream, the Roku...
So, the 4k profile still runs into some issues, like supported subtitle formats. And I don’t see VP8 in there, but maybe VP9 encapsulates that as well. I’d ask for at least a review of the info on...
This link should have everything you might need to create a solid device profile:
https://developer.roku.com/docs/specs/media/streaming-specifications.md
I just thought I'd add some more to this. For newer Roku OSes, the table "Audio fields" list supported audio formats...
I’ve been playing around with the Roku device profiles a bit, and have had some decent results reducing transcoding and getting Mezzmo to send various devices media they support. Newer Roku devices...
