vreis 5 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 @Q-Droidit's a remote connection where the server has an up link of 20Mbs and the client is on a 1G fiber. I do have a set limit of 10Mbs because I don't want to use the entire bandwidth. So, yes it will transcode on purpose, but that should not be a problem correct ? When I use http://app.emby.media it works fine, no freezing at all. @Lukethanks for replying, do you know when this new code will be released ? Currently my server is running 4.7.13.0 Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the difference is an updated third party lib. I really really really hope this fixes it when this release comes out. It's something that has annoyed me since moving to emby. Why is it that the two android apps (normal and the TV version) have different symptoms though. As I said above the android version freezes, and the TV version plays perfect but refuses to play some channels (that the other will play and that play fine by all other means).

No, it should not be a problem with your hardware and you've seen that the newer version of the web app is more stable. However, streaming live TV remotely is more challenging because of the real-time nature of the stream. Even if the newer web app is better that might not be the same for other apps. There is not much room for errors, lost packets, lost segments and transmission problems which make it harder to recover and resume. Streaming from files is much easier. Yes, other products seem to handle this better and I hope Emby gets there too. Edited June 3, 2023 by Q-Droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have 2 issues (interchangeable) With the Android TV App All channels will play, but suffer from stutters and freezes (this occurs also on the web app via any browser) With the Android App (the one that is cross platform - TV and mobile) TV Plays perfectly, but some channels or programmes refuse to play at all - they sit on a black screen and the progress bar shows nothing. Now, we can all argue it's our setups, our network, the media server device itself, the HDHomerun/Happauge. Anything... But the tv viewing is perfect via Plex, via Live Channels, via the tuners apps, and also via the HDHomeruns web api. So, what is the common factor that has an issue? EMBY! I would REALLY love to see this solved. We can submit as many logs as required to get this sorted, mine is in this topic as is @vreis. It's also great to hear that hundreds of users around the world have no issue with live tv, (not that I have seen any post that), but the fact remains that we have issues, there are issues, and we paid for this and would like to see them resolved. I understand the dev's do not have the devices (though even if they did - it may be the uk freeview streams only? Who knows), but anything that needs to reported back - we are happy to do that - perhaps you could even extend the debug data that emby creates from live tv, anything that can get this resolved. Please! you're on beta branch. how does it work on stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vreis 5 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 @GreatFlashMan yes, HDHomeRun Prime, FW 20230505 , Allow hardware transcoding is enabled, Enable hardware acceleration when available is set to "Yes" Server side: Spectrum 300/20 Mbs ( I have the internet streaming bitrate limit set to 10Mbps, so there will be bandwidth for other things) Client side: Fiber 1Gig, Android TV with Emby 2.0.83g Works perfect so far.

vreis 5 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Did anything changed in version 4.8.0.47 that affected the Live TV ? After it took this update the picture freezing returned. Please advise, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatFlashMan 75 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Mine is doing lots of stuttering now, it was fine prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreis 5 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Any updates on this? FYI: I installed Pl*x on the same server to rule out my setup and it works flawless. I would hate to be forced to move to another platform. Please advise if this is something in your development roadmap to be fixed soon.

That's great. That means with the upcoming 4.8 release, all of the changes that you see in our hosted web app will be in your built-in web app. I would just use the hosted web app for now until then.

Thanks for fixing the issue! @vreis By any chance do you remember which 4.8.0.39 beta you ran because there are lots of versions.... are you running a newer beta that streams TV fine? Been using emby for years and TV has never worked well which didnt affect me since i dont watch TV but now i need it to work and its just not reliable, it works fine on a computer but streaming on a roku just craps out every now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
