justinrh 176 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Sent player and app logs at 2:03pm CST, user home, Braveheart.mp4. On my Shields, playing a low-bitrate, direct play MP4 (tried only one so far) I see the video have a 1-2 second long stutter, kind of like how some movies have a dramatic slow motion scene, then it goes back to smooth. It happens randomly but usually around the same time during each playback. Audio will also drop out for a half-second at different times (NOT the same time as the stutter) - this is like what happens when resuming play of TS files, but in case of this movie I never stop or FF or RW. This does not happen in the web app or VLC on the desktop. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hi. There is nothing in the app log indicating any issue. Did the problem occur right before you sent the log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37260 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Also can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and let us know how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exo recovers from it but that is probably the source of what you are seeing. How was this item created? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video timing is based on the audio. 14 hours ago, justinrh said: It was ripped from a DVD With what? Can you try re-ripping it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 176 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hold up a sec, we need to answer why "This does not happen in the web app or VLC on the desktop". No, I can't re-rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stance is - GIGO - fix the source. When possible, we try to make mods to make it more tolerant but this is not always practical and/or we haven't gotten to all situations.

justinrh 176 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 @Luke The Android player played the video well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37260 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks for the feedback. That is good news for the TV app because ultimately it will get the same updates to the video player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
