Plex is software that you can use to store, locate, and access all of your media in one place. Once these files are resaved (but not edited or reencoded) in a piece of software, it seems to play them fine through ExoPlayer.For Plex Media Server: PC, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD computer, Nvidia Shield/Shield TV, Netgear Nighthawk router, or supported NASįor Plex Client Player: Any supported streaming device So according to this, it seems that ExoPlayer (the default player I think?) is having a few issues with SOME Emby Recorded TS files. I played the files that previously didn't play through an external player vis the Emby Shield App (used both Kodi and VLC) and both played in both apps without transcoding, although the seek function of VLC seems to not work correctly with the Shield remote. I took the other file that didn't work and resaved the whole file (no reencoding) using TS Doctor - this one also played in the Emby Shield App I took a file that was previoulsy transcoding and resaved the file using VideoRedo - no edits or reencodimg, just resaved the whole thing - it worked fine then in the Emby Shield App Just tried a couple of things - here's what I found: I'm leaning towards keeping Plex at the momnent which is a shame as there are many parts to Emby that I prefer. I know that there has been talk in the past about problems with seeking on TS files in Emby, but if Plex can do it and the Samsung TV Emby app can do it, why can't the Shield TV do it? After investing £150 on a Shield I want to be using it and the experience geneanrally is quicker than using the apps on my TV. Just for comparison, I tried the Emby and Plex apps on my Samsung TV and they both use direct play for these files, it just seems that it's Emby on the Shield that doesn't. The same files on Plex alwats play directly and seek really quickly. It doesn't affect newer progressive shows so much. Old 90s shows which I record a lot of do not look good.
This ends up slower, but also converts them and deinterlaces them which I don't want. My issue is, all TS files layed on the Shield in Emby end up transcoding (Direct Play error). I've just invested in a Shield TV and was going to make a choice between Emby and Plex as I don't want to keep paying for both. TS files can retain both progressive streams and interlaced streams and a combination, so I want to stick with TS. All the files record as TS files, which is what I want as the conversion to an MP4 of interlaced material is horrible. I am using a combination of Plex and Emby to record from my Homerun Duo onto my PC.
