H.265 HEVC playback Issues #340

Closed thadrumr closed 2 years ago

thadrumr commented 2 years ago

I am having issues playing back a 1080P HEVC h.265 movie on a Apple TV 4th gen. I tested it direct plays just fine using the Plex app but Swiftfin doesn't play. If it does play it has pixelation and slow playback. The Apple TV has the latest IOS 15 on it and my server is running 10.7.7.

Is this a transcoded stream?

thadrumr commented 2 years ago

No when it is playing I pull up the admin dashboard using my laptop and it is direct playing. I have the app set to force direct play.

Okay and thank you, then it's a poor thing that we can only blame on VLCKit. Due to you opening this issue (and it's one of many regarding VLCKit playback) I'm reopening and going to give more focus to: https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/issues/221

Plex uses mpv.

I will close this as this is something we cannot fix ourselves and is now directed towards that mpv implementation.

Just to kind of check out something else, what's the bitrate of your video?

thadrumr commented 2 years ago

For what its worth I installed VLC on my Apple TV and it also played fine there as well. Below is the stats of the movie.

VLC does use a different version of libvlc which VLCKit I believe hasn't updated in ages. We should expect many improvements with VLCKit v4 or I can maybe try out an unstable version soon
