Thanks for the report. Enhanced encoding is not currently supported.
Edit: I've pinned this issue for others that may come to report the same issue, or request this feature. I've got nothing further to say on the topic at this time. Thanks.
Thank you for you quick response. As a workaround, I got it working with the following settings:
Thanks!
Actually: that’s not a workaround, that’s the permanent solution. You cannot transmux with enhanced encoding. HomeKit does not support HEVC/H.265. Until that changes, which who knows if/when it will (that’s an Apple thing), if you choose to enable enhanced encoding, you will need to enable local transcoding as well.
HKSV will be unaffected and will work regardless.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the clarification. It's a great Plugin and with the settings enabled, it works like a charm. 👍
Maybe something that can be enabled automatically to avoid more github issues? => If enhanced encoding enabled, then transcode.
Or just add something to the getting started guide?
Cheers from Germany, Stefan
