MikeTech 0 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Updated server to 4.7.11.0 from 4.6.7.0 and now live tv from HD Homerun streams for 2-3 minutes, then suddenly stops, then "rewinds" back to where the stream started, plays to where it stopped, then stops again.≈ Same behavior in apps, browsers, all devices on local network. HD Homerun app plays all streams with no issues. Server running on MacOS 10.15.7. Have tried multiple reboots, checked transcode temp file location access, and inspected logs but am not spotting what's going wrong here. Progress bar on client playback seems to be trying to outrun the buffer (little or no green). All clients set for auto quality. Server log with debug toggled on and transcode log attached. I'm stumped. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-204b7bd3-bb48-444a-a18b-1ac5cee9cb7d_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTech 0 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) 22 days later and I am still stumped. Stream plays for nearly 4 minutes in browser then quits with no interaction from client. At that time, server log states: 00:37:32.275 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://192.168.1.59:8096/emby/Sessions/Playing/Stopped?X-Emby-Client=Emby Web&X-Emby-Device-Name=Safari macOS&X-Emby-Device-Id=7f7c8b09-13c5-405f-baa0-c7dbef9b8753&X-Emby-Client-Version=4.7.11.0&X-Emby-Language=en-us&reqformat=json.

WiFi/Wired makes no difference. Temp transcode path is default. Thought perhaps it was disk capacity, but the SSD where the server and transcode directories live has 162.73 GB free. Nothing remarkable in system console logs. Server is running on MacOS 10.15.7, as stated previously. It all worked fine before updating to 4.7.11.0 Hoping for a little help here...

Luke 37057 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hi, as a test, if you lower the in app quality setting, how does that compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTech 0 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Tried that too, on multiple client platforms. Doesn’t seem to matter. There is one possible clue, however: if I back out of the stream and restart it several times (without restarting the server), sometimes on the third or fourth attempt the stream will continue without quitting on its own. Very mysterious. Nothing else is running on this server except file sharing and print services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTech 0 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Yes, no change. Same behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 @MikeTech can you try our hosted web app and let us know how that compares? http://app.emby.media Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTech 0 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Thanks for the suggestion but the server is not configured for remote access, it’s behind a firewall and only accessible on the local network. It has actually not been misbehaving in the last couple of weeks, I am chalking it up to recent iOS updates, the only variables that have changed.

MikeTech 0 Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 OK! Hosted web app works fine, no issues with streams stopping/reloading, etc. Have been using it for several days on multiple platforms. Wondering what the difference is between this and direct browser streaming, but whatever is in the secret sauce it seems to have bypassed the issue.

Luke 37057 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Thanks. That’s good news because the built in web app will have all of the same changes in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
