Am a newbie, started trying this fantastic Platform since few days now, have faced a problem for which am posting here for help. Considering recommendations of http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5506, here is the summary of the problem:
Problem Description
Quality of Video on Android 4.1 Full AOSP on Rk29sdk, that is G-Box Android TV box (as can be seen in attachement 1, even at the bit of 1000kps and up, as can be seen in attachment 2). Brightness/Constrast/Gamma issues with big boxes all over the picture, specially the dark portions of video pictures.
Troubleshooting Steps
Have no concerns regarding quality, having same transcoding settings while viewing on Laptops/Desktops running Windows XP/Windows 7. Even on my Android phone gingerbread 2.3.6, all videos run fine. But on GBox, there is this quality issue. Have tried changing transcoding presets (-superfast etc) or (-vf lutyuv=y) as well, but no help. Tried different resolution, different file types (mkv, mp4s etc) but the issue is same. Have tried jwplayer on various other websites for online videos, and found this problem to be specific to Subsonic.
