Zip, I've downloaded some 4K demos, and am having a problem with them appearing on my Roku players. Some are HEVC while others are AVC L5.1 video and AAC or FLAC audio. Now FLAC might be the problem for the files with that audio (although Roku supports FLAC but the TV probably doesn't), but I can't figure out why the one listed below won't list. It's not the HDR content, as some others with HDR do appear and play properly with HDR triggered on the TV.

what is ffmpeg -i ?
also, does it appear in MediaBrowser?

It shows in the folder view in MediaBrowser. It does not appear in the folders on any of my Roku players that I have with me. Since I'm not at home, I can't say if it would appear on any of my Smart TVs. I tried the generic profile, the original Roku profile, and the latest Roku 4K TV profile, all with the same result. Plex will show it, but I think it tries to transcode it and it chokes. This was downloaded from a 4K demo clip site, and I have done nothing to it. I can play the file with VLC on my computer, but of course it isn't in 4K that way.

Here's the ffmpeg info:

Interesting. I play the video via MediaBrowser and it came up in a foreign language (as well as very choppy). I didn't notice that the English track wasn't the default track. I'll have to try changing that. It also quits playback and restarts about 13 seconds into the video. When I play it in VLC, the video is just as choppy but the audio stream seems mostly smooth, and playback doesn't halt at 13 seconds.

So it's actually not HEVC file, but just 4K H264, with some interesting colour profile (I assume HDR). it probably doesn't show up on Roku because you don't have transcoding profile for it. Is Roku supposed to play HDR files?

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2017 5:18 pm**

Whoops. Yeah, I have a mix of H264 and H265 4K files. I don't think that particular file is HDR, but yes the Roku Ultra, Premiere + and 4K TVs will all play HDR material. And I have streamed my clips with HDR using Serviio with no issue. But I do have other files that aren't appearing as well. I flew home for Thanksgiving week, so when I get back to my hotel I'll grab the info one a few of them.
