Subsonic Forum

Hi, I'm having trouble to understand how the Player transcoding settings are applied when accessing videos (mkv) via the Android client. To be clear, I'm refering to Subsonic for Android developed by Sindre. Afaict, they are not applied at all - as there is no ffmpeg process started on the server when I'm streaming on Android and there is when I use a web player.

I have created a player 'External player with playlist' and enabled the video transcoding I want to use. On the Status page it shows that the correct player is being used - "android [xxx] (VLC/2.2.0-git LibVLC/2.2.0-git)" - but no transcoding is taking place. Transcoding works fine when I use a web browser Player which has the same transcoding option selected.

More than 10 lines of log, I know. I don't understand the Exceptions - the video plays fine, only it's not being transcoded.

Same happens for me, I'm thinking it may be a bug, I've tried using many different transcoding options as well and even if you switch the command it won't error out.
