Cambridge audio 752BD with newer MKV files

Hi,

Sadly you cannot do much more than what you already found out, only H.264 level will be restricted to 4.1 level and all the other video codecs like HEVC will not.
Using FFmpeg optional custom parameters "-vpre" could be used as a workaroud but i'm afraid that most users will find that overskilled and annoying.

@floatingkiwi the change you provided should work for the level but we will need to do more to make sure that H.265 doesn't stream. Please try this and let me know how that works:

Code: Select all

Interesting, how about:

As a side note, i cannot remember any Cambridge users having ever posted a full trace log in this forum.

Please try varying the TranscodeVideo line. The possible options are:

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo = MPEGPS-MPEG2-AC3
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-MPEG2-AC3
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AAC
TranscodeVideo = WMV

I suggest starting with MPEGTS-H264-AAC
