Video playback - H.265/HEVC
Can SageTV playback H.265/HEVC files? This is the first file that I wasn't able to play back so far and I'm wondering if it's a limitation of the player or just a codec that I don't have installed or something. This was on the Nvidia Shield. The SPMC player played the file fine. I ultimately just converted it to H.264 but want to know if HEVC is supposed to be supported.
I've been using SageTV on the Nvidia Shield and like the consistent environment for watching TV and playing video files. To me, it's much better than Plex/SPMC. I don't like the tile interface which seems to be all of the rage now and the SageTV ff/rw controls just work better for me anyway. |

With SageTV server (9.0.8.429), I get the attached error when trying to play it on the server itself. On the android client, I just get a black screen when the video should be playing.
See attached files for more info. No big deal since I just converted to H.264 but it's just a mystery as to why it didn't work. |

The mediainfo shows it's a mp4 container... I know in the files that I've used for testing they are all .mkv files with hevc content. not sure why that would matter.

Just having a codec installed sage will let directshow connect it for you - but that's only for directshow clients. I believe he is asking about playback on an nvidia shield via a miniclient, which doesn't use any codecs on the server (unless transcoding for placeshifter use - but that uses ffmpeg, not directshow).

The issue was with both. The server one was easier to document because I could easily do a screen capture. I mostly use VLC for playback of things on my PC so it's likely there wasn't a directshow codec for this format. The Nvidia Shield was able to play the same H.265 file but not via SageTV so that still remains a mystery.
