FrAllard 8 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi, I have a problem where I cannot watch a show while it's recording. If I wait for the recording to stop, then I can watch properly. I think this is due to a bad signal or a glitch in the IPTV signal. I have both IPTV provider and HDHomeRun OTA and they both do the same. When the problem appear the image freeze and I can't start it back again. I can start it back from the beginning and if I skip forward it crash at the exact same place. Then I wait for the recording to finish and I can continue from where it crashed like nothing happened. On IPTV it sometimes can recover and after 3 or 4 times it just freeze there and do nothing. IPTV is h264 where HDHomeRun is MPEG2 in my case, no way to transcode at the device. Unfortunately I don't have a log at the moment, I just tried to generate a problem I disconnected the antenna for a second on the tuner and Emby happily carried on. I really don't know what is happening, I'm hoping some one else has the same problem and can provide some insight. I began the setup of tvheadend in order to bypass Emby recording process, but found out that only the "tuner" part of tvheadend is used, Emby still does the recording. I'll try to isolate a log when the problem happen next time. Can you tell me how many logs should I expect of a show recording and watching the recording show from the beginning skipping commercials? Would that be two separate logs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 HI there, yes can we please look at an example? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrAllard 8 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I will try to create the problem tonight and extract the logs right away. Even with the "Anonymize log contents" I seem to still see url and ip addresses... My server is using a FQDN and it still show. The IPTV source is also showing. Is there a way to remove that from the logs and still show relevant information for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrAllard 8 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Oh and I can listen live during hours without any problem whatsoever on the same channel I used to create the problem for the logs. But recording and listening to the recording from the beginning while still recording doesn't work. I wait until the end of the recording and I can play it without any issue. Apparently the client doesn't seem to matter, it did that on my nVidia Shield and on the Windows App. I know I'm repeating myself, but I really want to explain the problem clearly so it can give you a clue of what is happening.

FrAllard 8 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Was my logs what you needed to find the problem. I looked at it a little bit but could not find the cause of the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Are you still having an issue with this? Have you updated to Emby Server 4.7.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrAllard 8 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yes I updated 2 days ago and yes the problem is still happening. It's a little bit different it seems. The video is playing as usual until I try to skip forward or backward then big problem. The video restart from the beginning or just sometimes it just go back a little bit even though I try to skip forward. I will do a new log capture when no one else is on the server, I have someone on the server at the moment and it make it difficult to extract the right logs.

nikdom 1 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I have the same issue. What I observed is, that for me it is just happening in the ATV client. Via web client I am able to start watching ongoing recordings from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrAllard 8 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 I was using the Windows Client today and it does happen when I use the ATV too. Will try the web client later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 HI, are you still running into this? Can you please try with Emby Server 4.7.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrAllard 8 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Will test further, but at first it looks good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikdom 1 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 @Luke on AppleTV the fix does not have any implications, the issue still exists. I schedule a recording from now to +1h start watching the recording in 5 minutes the stream on ATV will start playing the live stream (so from +5min) and it is not possible to go back to the beginning In the Web Player it works fine.

Luke 37008 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hi, has the new 1.6.0 update for the Emby Apple TV app helped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikdom 1 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hi @Luke, sorry for the delay. Unfortunately it is not fixed with 1.6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike3821 61 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Because of this issue, I’m starting to look at alternatives that will allow you to watch a recording in progress. will this be fixed any time soon?

mike3821 61 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Any progress with this? I just moved over to Channnels DVR because my wife is giving me shit. Please fix so I don’t have to depend on two services. Bah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3821 61 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Found something of interest. I changed my DVR path to local storage instead of my shared folder. It appears I can watch currently recorded TV now. I was reviewing the logs and I was getting Access Denied Permissions? Strange, since it can create recordings and I can also watch recordings... Picture below shows when mapped via CIFS off Debian 11. Edited September 1, 2022 by mike3821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3821 61 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Yep this was it. I moved to NFS and now recordings seem to be working and I CAN now watch while recording. ODD.... For the Emby team.... Edited September 1, 2022 by mike3821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cifs is a better option to see? I recall issues with samba/cifs a few Emby versions back. Maybe still issues lingering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikdom 1 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 My recordings are also persisting on an NFS share, and I always had the issue in that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
