Movies not able to skip forward = always restarts movie

Very good. So now assuming direct access is possible, those folder rips should direct play. Anytime a folder rip has to transcode it is only experimental so you want to avoid that.

I'm not quite understanding, that. You mean you're still testing folder rip playback?

We say that all over the community anytime people are trying to play folder rips from the web app or roku. it is only experimental therefore perfect playback should not be expected.

Last night i went to watch that particular movie that trans-codes, there was no surround sound going to my receiver, i went into the settings of Theatre to see if the audio settings had been changed, the audio settings section was missing and so was the video settings. 

 

I watched the movie in question using MPC-HC and it played fine, the movie played without fault and the chapters were all in order. I had hd surround too.

 

Today i checked for a version update and i noticed there is a newer version of Theatre, i uninstalled the current one and installed the newest version, the video and audio setting were back. After opening and closing Theatre i noticed the video and audio settings are gone again. When i tried to play the problem movie it still trans-codes, it still plays the m2ts files in the wrong order i.e. 20 minute into the movie i get the ending and titles, when i try to skip forward it freezes. This movie played perfectly in MPC-HC.

 

Theatre, Server and the movie files are all on the same machine.

If the audio and video settings are gone it means Windows DWM (Aero) has either stopped or crashed. We depend on that for windows transparency. Once that stops, we then disable the mpv player and revert to the embedded chromium video player, which will basically be the same as playing it in Chrome. Try rebooting your machine.

I rebooted and it made no difference. I uninstalled and then reinstalled and the settings returned, when i close Theatre i get a message saying 'electron has stopped working'. When i start Theatre the settings are gone, rebooting does not change anything. The dwm.exe process is still running in taskmanager.

Where should i be posting issues for the new version?

 

I installed 2.7 today and things are worse. Still missing menu items, no surround sound, no - and X buttons to minimise or close, forcing it closed crashes electron, bluray folders dont play at all now, i get a spinning circle and then it goes away, no movie playback.

I've seen a similar issue. Sometimes I've started (I think after an update) those have been missing or the UI is not as it should be. But when I close it, wait a minute, then restart, it corrects itself. I've also been replacing electron, due to another issue. Luke, could this be related to electron?

Today i tried the 2.7.1 version.

 

I still have the same problem with the menu's. Electron is still crashing too when i force ET closed.

 

ET is playing the bluray folders fine, skipping is possible but it is slow and pauses before playing again. These movies transcode and they are on the same pc as Theatre and Server.

 

The movie i had problems with 'come and find me' still does not play in the correct order, i get the trailers 15 minutes into the movie, if i try and skip to the end it freezes. MPC-HC plays it fine.

Do you want the trailers? I would just remove them all and only have the movie file. As for electron. Try replacing the electron folder/files with an older version.

No i dont want trailers, i just want the movie, this movie im having trouble with has a few m2ts files which make up the maain movie, the files are not played in the correct order, so 15 minns into the movie i get the titles which should be at the end, then it continues onto the next m2ts file. It may be a bad remux but MPCHC plays it fine. Should i just delete this movie and hope i dont get any other like that?

 

How do you go about using an older version of electron, i downloaded electron but there was no exe file so i just forgot about it.

 

Please try the portable version here:

You can just use the latest 2.72 because it has all the newest changes rolled in.

Today i got round to trying out 2.7.2 and its good new all round, everything is fixed apart from the pinning to the taskbar isuue which i can live with.

 

The movies i tested were mkv and bluray folders. All movies direct played. They skipped forwards and backwards using the chapter and skip buttons with no problems and the skipping forward/ backwards was almost instant. The problem i movie i had with multiple m2ts files, that also played just fine and in the correct order. Theatre also opens and closes without issues and all menu items are still in place.

 

Its great to see all the big issues fixed at once, great update indeed. 

 

Well done Luke, great work indeed.  :D

No all mkv, buy all mkv uploaded by some author.

I think it depends on how the files work (you can see mkv info from my last screen).

When recode the files all work perfectly.

Hi @Luke

I have the same issue, with MKV files. But the first episodes did not have this issue. Was there a solution to fix this?

Hi there, sounds like an issue with the files. We'd have to go over an example. Thanks.
