Describe the bug

Hi, I'm experiencing a media playback issue with Jellyfin.

I'm using the latest Android TV client (0.18.4) and Jellyfin server (10.10.6).

On an Android TV, Jellyfin always transcodes media, reporting the following transcoding reason: the video resolution is not supported.

On other Android TVs and Android clients, the very same server and media files play without any transcoding.

What could be the reason for this? Thanks.

Currently, the app limits video resolution to the maximum size supported by your device for the h264 codec. It's likely that your device is reporting a maximum resolution of for example 1920x1080, which is then also used for h265 and all other video codecs.

ferrarimarco · 2025-02-18T12:48:21Z

@nielsvanvelzen I have ADB access to the TV, in case it's useful to gather more info. Thanks

ferrarimarco · 2025-02-18T12:58:45Z

IDK if this is useful, but I just tried with another media file (h264, 1920x1080 SDR), and there's no transcoding.

ferrarimarco · 2025-02-18T15:35:50Z

I was able to pull the media_codecs.xml using ADB, and this is the HEVC entry:

            <Type name="video/hevc">
                <Limit name="size" min="2x2" max="4096x2176" />
                <Limit name="bitrate" range="1-80000000" />
                <Limit name="concurrent-instances" max="2" />
                <Feature name="adaptive-playback" />
                <Feature name="tunneled-playback" />
                <Feature name="low-latency" />
            </Type>

So this seems to be ok?

Currently, the app limits video resolution to the maximum size supported by your device for the h264 codec. It's likely that your device is reporting a maximum resolution of for example 1920x1080, which is then also used for h265 and all other video codecs.

I think you're right.

The AVC entry is like:

            <!-- AVC Video Decoder -->
            <Type name="video/avc">
                <Limit name="size" min="32x32" max="1920x1088" />
                <Limit name="concurrent-instances" max="2" />
                <Feature name="adaptive-playback" />
                <Feature name="tunneled-playback" />
                <Feature name="low-latency" />
            </Type>

What is the rationale behind using MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC to get the max resolution for all cases?

jellyfin-androidtv/app/src/main/java/org/jellyfin/androidtv/util/profile/deviceProfile.kt

Line 65 in 5556590

val maxResolution = mediaTest.getMaxResolution(MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC)

Thanks for your support @nielsvanvelzen

ferrarimarco · 2025-02-19T10:18:00Z

Considering that when DeviceProfileKt.createDeviceProfile gets called there's a MediaSourceInfo object as well, would it possible to make createDeviceProfile codec-speficic?
