701h 12 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) When playing live TV, Android client on my Galaxy s21 does not fast forward or rewind. Even if I pause it for a while, it cannot skip forward or back. It's like the buttons just don't work. There is no transcoding, just live streaming from my windows 10 server on local wifi. Playback via the Web browser on the same device functions normally. Play back of other media like movies works properly via the Android app too, the issue seems to only affect live TV.

MBSki 1081 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Are you able to skip forward on recorded tv? I have issues with recorded tv that are saved as ts files. Might be the same thing with live tv. The Android TV client allows you to disable direct play for ts files, which gets skip forward working again. @Luke Is live tv a ts file? Either way we need an option to disable direct play for ts because skipping forward on ts files and live tv doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

701h 12 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Thanks Luke. I'm unable to confirm if this affects recorded TV, as all my recordings are converted to mp4 files immediately. If you need me to check let me know, but otherwise I'm too lazy. Lol.

bob174 7 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I'm still seeing that the android client doesn't allow for rewind on live TV. This thread was posted 18 months ago wherein you said you were working on it. Is it so difficult to fix? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobycth3 1 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 @Luke Curious about this as well as I'm migrating from Channels DVR to Emby and found I cannot RW/FF live TV, only recordings after they have finished. Feels like a very basic feature to have, so I hope this can be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
