ramrod215 6 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 My Chromecast seems to stop playing randomly during remote play from android app. I say randomly because it can happen 5 min in to 10 min in. I did manage to get a family guy episode to play all the way through no issues. All files are WTV converted to MVK. Only difference seems to be audio family guy was stereo and all the others were 5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Does the same thing happen when you use the web client to play media to a CC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod215 6 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes it does. I just tried it from my browser on chrome. Also restarted by server and still happening. I can move the slider ahead and it will start playing again. Seems to happen in the same spot on this certain episode could it be from the encoding profile from MCEbuddy (the high mkv one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimon 5 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Could be the same problem I have with chromecast playback.. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/10981-chromecast-20-issues/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod215 6 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I am thinking its not a Chromecast issue more of the transcoder issue. I will upload my logs when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren34 0 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yes it does. I just tried it from my browser on chrome. Also restarted by server and still happening. I can move the slider ahead and it will start playing again. Seems to happen in the same spot on this certain episode could it be from the encoding profile from MCEbuddy (the high mkv one) I have the exact same issue. I have to try this again later to get some logs. When casting the show will freeze up, usually at cut commercial breaks. I also use MCEBuddy with comskip, but I don't re-encode to mkv, just a straight commercial removal. If I move the slider a few seconds forward, the show will start to play fine again. The same happens when playing over DLNA to my samsung tv as well. If I play the episode on the pc hosting MB, it plays fine, both within MB and WMC.

Sp3kt3r 13 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Today I had the same issue... it's never consistent.. I can play the whole show without issue and sometime it will freeze 2-3 times. The only thing I do, is STOP and click play,resume and it continues. Most of my movie are MKV (720 or 1080) with AC3/DTS. I will also investigate and look at the log.

Ren34 0 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Anyone figure this out? I have been busy and haven't been able to pull my logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren34 0 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Sorry, I finally got around to getting some logs. Using the latest server and android app. It seems like it is freezing up at scene cuts while casting to my chromecast. HLS is on, but it does the same thing with it turned off.

Ren34 0 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Anyone see anything in the logs that could possibly cause this issue? Still trying to work this out. It used to work perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3kt3r 13 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Same issue here.. I found a show that it does it more often .. (At least every 5 minutes) I will look more in the log and it does it either with android app or webclient. Could be a transcoding issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I am thinking, I am stuck watching all my recordings on my main HTPC since casting no longer works correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 We've pushed some updates to the receiver page recently so please try again. Whenever you have a problem, please see: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/790-how-to-report-a-problem/ In addition to the link above, please specify what app you were casting from. Google has also been updating their HLS implementation recently and has unfortunately created some defects that we have to try and work around until they're resolved.

So is this the reason that Android's HLS has been on the fritz since 4.4.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 yes just google Google HLS 4.4.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah. When I updated to 4.4.3, I was rather confused why all of the media apps broke. It made no sense. My real question is if Android L is going to bring the end of these problems. I find it odd that Google hasn't fixed the HLS bug as it seems like it would affect a HUGE number of multimedia apps, including the most popular like Plex and MB.

Luke 37010 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 they've pledged to fix it. they're investing more energy into their competing mpeg-dash format but they've come out and said it will be improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It has affected Plex, there's similar threads on their forum. Based on several bug reports submitted to Google it is affecting a wide range of software that uses the stock internal video player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I will admit I still use Plex (but ONLY for the device syncing) so I know about the Plex problems. Can't wait for sync to go live so I can dump Plex totally. Such a pain to keep two servers' watched status's in sync. Glad to know that Google is going to get their act together eventually.
