AV1 on roku (lemmy.one)
submitted 1 year ago by CCatMan@lemmy.one to c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml

Did anyone get AV1 codec to work via Jellyfin? I can play the file over a USB stick connected directly to the Roku, but just getting audio only when playing via Jellyfin.

Works fine here, encoded with handbrake

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm. I also encoded with handbrake, maybe an issue with the Roku ultra?

Could be, I have a Roku built in to my TCL TVs, that's what I use. Did you replace an existing file with the av1? I had to rescan my library after swapping my files for it to work, otherwise it gave a playback error.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I only put the av1 encoded file in the library, so nothing to rescan... This time .

I think there's an option in the roku Jellyfin app to enable AV1 playback. I haven't tried it myself, but I have seen it messing around with a few settings.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I have that set to enabled.

Can you check in the logs what exactly Jellyfin tries to do? Does it try to transcode for any reason?

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It does are package, remux. Not sure how to prevent this

[-] exu@feditown.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Remux means the container format you're using isn't supported. The video and audio won't be transcoded, so this should have minimal impact only.

Edit: What container are you using? According to this list every common container format should be supported by roku.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using MKV, but for whatever reason Jellyfin wants to remux all the MKVs 🤘

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I can share the file with you if you want to see what happens? But I'm not going to put that link here lol

[-] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 year ago

I don't have a roku to test on, so it probably reacts in a different way :/

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no problem. I just wanted to save space in my server as my disk rips are big and AV1 is really impressive.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I found the repacking setting under transcoding, let me turn that off and see if the remuxing stops.

[-] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 year ago

Is that a setting specific to the roku client? I wasn't able to find it in the server settings.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It says "Allow video playback that requires converaion without reencoding" I assume this is the remux setting?

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

No luck, movies that are mkvs require a remux. I checked the logs but could not see the reason for the remux

[-] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry for the late reply. Do mkvs with other codecs (avc or hevc) also remux?

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, from what I can see everything sent to the Roku is being remuxed. I can triple check this, but I know that hevc is.

[-] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 year ago

I couldn't really find anything on the web that would explain the remuxing :/
Have you tried asking on the Jellyfin forums? The devs probably hang out there and could help further.

[-] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I GUESS it's time for me to sign up over there. Thanks for looking, I'm not too sure either. 🤘
