kakashi55 12 Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 (edited) Samsung tv app version used - 1.8.7 and 1.8.0. I use .strm files to stream movies. Internet speed and all other parameters are same for every client. When I skip a 10 -15 seconds in a movie in other clients(Android, Web App, Kodi), it skips instantly and does not do spinning. But in Samsung TV client, I have to wait 5-6 seconds. This waiting time is same as when you start a movie. It feels like there is NO BUFFER. It needs bigger buffer(for example --- 1 minute). Thanks in Advance. Edited August 1, 2024 by kakashi55
Luke 39008 Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

It feels like there is NO BUFFER. It needs bigger buffer(for example --- 1 minute). Unfortunately this is the issue. The Samsung native player buffering capabilities are somewhat limited and while you can set a bigger buffer, this buffer needs to fill before playback starts or when resuming from skip operations. Therefore, a bigger buffer means bigger delays. As you stated: 'This waiting time is same as when you start a movie.' We can improve this a bit by actually making a smaller buffer, which means it has less to load and will start/skip/resume quicker but it will be less tolerant to any network issues and may affect overall playback.

Hi, Skip operation is only 10 seconds. I was not talking about skipping 30 minutes or 1 hr. I was talking about skipping for only 10 seconds by pressing right button once. It should skip immediately but it loads (like when starting a movie). I hope there is some solution. Thanks. Edited August 5, 2024 by kakashi55

If the TV is limited to 100 mb/s ethernet (most are btw), then a video with 60 mb/s bitrate will take 6 seconds to buffer 10 seconds of video. That means a 6 second delay on every skip, and every playback start which in my opinion is too long. If you are seeing 5-6 seconds delays, then you probably have a different issue as I don't think we're buffering that much. Can you please share the logs and give us a specific example?
