Please describe your bug

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create an AVI file with the following FFMPEG command.
ffmpeg -re -f lavfi -i "smptehdbars=rate=30:size=1920x1080" -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=1000:sample_rate=48000" -to 10 -c:v h264 -profile:v baseline -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -crf 28 -c:a mp3 testvid.avi
  • Add the created "testvid.avi" to a Jellyfin library.
  • Try to play the file on web UI.
  • Observe transcoding is always on and there is no direct playback option.
  • Transcode reason is listed as SecondaryAudioNotSupported even there is only one audio stream in the file.

Expected behavior:

File is played directly with no transcoding as H264 and MP3 are supported by the browser.

Root cause:

JSON output of ffprobe has streams[*].disposition.default == 0 for all streams.

Proposed solution:

Add check and modification of parse result in ProbeResultNormalizer.

Looks like this happens whenever there is no audio stream marked as default in the video file. This hits the IsSecondaryAudio case in GetTranscodeReasonForFailedCondition even though this has nothing to do with video streams.

@gaudat commented on GitHub (Jul 28, 2022):

I tested more video formats today on 10.9.0 with my ffprobe hack.

H264 AAC MP4 container = Direct play
H264 AAC MKV container = Remux, reason ContainerNotSupported
H264 AAC AVI container = h264 transcode to h264, AAC direct, reason ContainerNotSupported

H264 MP3 MP4 container = Direct play
H264 MP3 AVI container = h264 transcode to h264, MP3 direct, reason ContainerNotSupported

I expect the AVI files to remux instead of doing a full transcode. Not sure if there is something special with AVI container that prevents it from doing so.

Leaving notes here. Maybe it is bad sorting of transcoding profiles in "GetVideoTranscodeProfile".

AVI is not a suitable container for H264. Its main codec is Xvid. I'm not even sure if ffmpeg can do a stream copy to mkv/mp4.

@gaudat commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2022):

Okay. These files are like about 0.5% of my library only. Worst case I could just repack them to MP4.

Stream copy of the H264 stream from AVI to MP4 works fine with the ffmpeg program bundled with Jellyfin. Not sure there are any complications when transcoding to a live streaming format.

I think it's better to open a new issue for this.
