xbox one s hvec

[rullbab]

Got some media backups both in two mkv files. I did a ffmpeg probe command to check my sources and the hvec compressed file crashes the stream from my xbox. While a 'matroska' file works fine. Can also see a CPU load spike on the server. Wondering if Jellyfin does correctly identifies the files, since I had disabled decoding of HVEC format. Even tho my 'gpu' does have hw decoding and encoding capability of HVEC. I used QuickSync and passed the /dev/render128 device into docker. Works perfect from a PC. The error is something in the lines of 'unknown video format'.


With the decoding on and off its the same error 'WRN] [74] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ResponseTimeMiddleware: Slow HTTP Response from http://192.168.1.138:8096/videos/047d50d...s=30000000 to 192.168.1.125 in 0:00:00.932129 with Status Code 206'

'Playback error' on xbox but there is sound and video for 2-3 seconds before it crashes.

your post needs some clarification

- "disabled decoding of HVEC format" only matters on the jellyfin server, no affect on clients
- "passed the /dev/render128 device into docker" again, only on server
- "Slow HTTP Response" is common for slow network, does not result in crashing on most platforms


what is not clear

where is jellyfin server running?
- is it on the xbox that is crashing? i dont see how since it would be some gymnastics to get docker on an xbox

if jellyfin server is not running on the xbox then anything related to the server would be unrelated to the client crashing

what client is installed on the xbox that is being used to play?
- i could not locate any pages on github for xbox from jellyfin but did locate it on xbox's site

edit:

i found the project on github, hasn't been updated in 3.5 years - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-uwp
according to a reddit post it's pretty much dead as uwp is being phased out - https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/commen...x_series_x
- and barely worked in the first place, with no interested devs to maintain it

sounds like jellyfin on an xbox isn't ready for mass consumption yet
