I forgot to note the time I sent the log. Same user as previously, GMT+8, somewhere between 23:43 and 23:45.

Played Babel (MPEG2 BD), All About Eve (MPEG2 DVD), then S1E1 of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (DVD-sourced but converted to H264 to remove PAL speedup).

Dropped quality to 1Mbps to force transcode.

Played Babel, All About Eve 2x, S1E1 AHH.

Transcoding worked for All About Eve this time, the issue last time must have been a one-off glitch. It also rectified the diagonal green line issue. So we have something of a workaround, at least, it would seem.

There is, however, a SfN issue as it insisted things were direct playing even when the OSD said they were transcoding during the latter test.

Hi.  He is asking for the ffmpeg logs, not the app logs...

I just played All About Eve, and pulled up Stats for Nerds immediately, and it was direct playing for about five seconds then switched to Direct Stream. Weird.

That is normal.  It takes about 10 seconds for all the information to get updated from the server when not direct playing.

I PM'd him server and ffmpeg logs.

It definitely took way longer than ten seconds on one occasion.

@softworkz Have you had a chance to look at the latest set of logs?

I'm not familiar with the device itself, so I can't help with hands-on experience, but I can help with pinpointing strategies, and this is actually a good starting point:

• We got our failing case
  and
• We got something similar that works

Let's compare these two cases. Just create a single ffmpeg log file for each case, then we can look at the differences.
(I know you have sent many logs for the failing case already, but creating two logs directly one after another provides maximum differentiation from unexpected factors)

 

[crusher11]

Yes, I sent you those.

I think there exists a communication problem. I'm not sure whether it is of visual nature or a language issue?

I sent logs for this. That's a success and a failure, back to back, with logs. As requested.

@softworkz What am I missing here?

[crusher11]

@softworkz I don't understand what you think the difference is between your request and the logs provided. Did you not get my last PM?

[crusher11]

@softworkz I'd like to get this resolved so I can replace the All About Eve video with the one from the Blu-ray.

@ebr?

Hi, please try side loading our standard Android app on the same device and let us know how that compares:

Thanks.

[crusher11]

It plays successfully. So the green lines issue is specifically an ATV issue, it would seem.

That's good news. Thanks for the feedback.

[crusher11]

Doesn't really move us toward a solution in itself, however.

[crusher11]

So with the new info are there any other logs that would be helpful? @ebr @softworkz

I don' t think there's anything more to do now that you've reported success with the standard app. The TV app will ultimately get the same updates to the video player.

So I just got round to side loading the Android app onto my Firetv stick and in my case the corruption is not fixed. 
I have tried both apps- standard Android 3.2.48 and Android TV 2.0.70g. 
 

Both show the corruption and in addition the standard Android app plays videos with a distorted aspect ratio- presumably designed for portrait use on a phone.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

[emg456]

Thanks. If you need logs and sample file I can organise that.
