Youtube video not playing correctly

Hi,

I have added online youtube source to serviio.
The requested url works, and is showing all the requested video's. But when I play them and put the TV (samsung C series) the image is very blurred.
When the tv is set to play in original format I only have a very very small picture showing the video, When I view the video from the URL on the pc the quality is good.

I tried both setting the online quality setting for serviio to medium or high, but this did not make any difference.

Kind regards,

Hen

HI,

I found out what was wrong. I copied a sample url from the page and edited that.
The sample url ended in ?v=2 after removing this, the video now starts in good quality.
So changed https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/vid ... tlight?v=2
to
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/vid ... /spotlight

After a few seconds however the video is aborted, and jumps to the next in the rss feed.
This only happens when viewing in high quality. Medium quality plays fine.

The CPU is not maxed out during online transcoding. What might be causing the high quality online sources to fail after a few seconds ?

Regards,
Hen

After changing ffmpeg.exe to latest static build (x64) the videos transcode fine and I can view them in high quality.

What does that mean? Explain and attach a DEBUG log.
