Click Play Button from Show on Grid and.... Nothing

[InIrons 0]

Hi 

 

Brand new installation... just trying it out for the first time today.  

 

Windows 7 with HDHOMERUN PRIME with 3 tuners and cablecard... none of my channels have the copy protection flag as per Brighthouse in Central FL

 

Am using Schedules Direct for digital cable

 

When I navigate to the guide and I click on a show and click the green play button..... nothing happens

 

I got the logs and noted the following error:

Seems its having issue with the "transport connection" which I am assuming is the interface/api/dohickey that the tuner streams video over or that Emby listens for.

 

Am I missing something on the setups?  

 

Thanks!

Hi, welcome. This isn't your live TV problem, but your server is currently unable to start. The error message says:

The http server is unable to start due to a Socket error. This can occasionally happen when the operating system takes longer than usual to release the IP bindings from the previous session. This can take up to five minutes. Please try waiting or rebooting the system.
	Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
	System.Net.Sockets.SocketException

I am guessing after you had trouble playing live tv, you probably frantically restarted the server a few times? Sometimes when you do this windows will take a long time to release the socket, and then you go to start back up again and the server is unable to bind because the previous instance hasn't been released.

 

So first I would restart your computer to clear that up. Second, do you have a log from when you actually tried to play live tv? What browser are you trying to play with?

Hi Liuke thanks so much for very very quick reply.... Yep that was it... 

 

But one thing I noticed that may be a separate thread but maybe you can answer here for 2 issues:

 

#1. My lower channels are standard definition and my higher channels are high definition.

 

I can watch the standard definition channels no problem other than issue #2 below but when I try to watch the high definition channels they play for 2-4 seconds and then it stops and the screen freezes and nothing more.  Is there some sort of buffer I need to increase or something so the video doesnt freeze?  Its not stuttering or jerkin it just plays for a few seconds and stops and the video screen is there its just stopped

 

#2 When I click on a video off the guide to play.... it takes like 10 seconds to play.  Is there any way to speed this up?

 

Thanks!

We'd have to take a look at a log file to really answer those questions. Please see:

 

http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/739-how-to-report-a-problem/

 

But as for #2, browsers do not natively support these live tv streams so we have to use a technique called transcoding in order to convert them to a format the browser understands. This can take time and 10 seconds is not abnormal unfortunately. Our other apps on other devices are capable of starting it much quicker because many of them natively support the live tv formats.

Hi Luke,

 

Let me know if you need for me to post this in separate thread, I appreciate your help on this!

 

I just tried to watch Hallmark Channel and here is the complete log ... this time the screen went black

Thats it...

[Luke 37161]

well that's different from what you described. that looks like a complete failure. are you sure the channel doesn't have DRM?

[InIrons 0]

Yeah they dont have DRM... lower # channels in std definition play the higher # channels in HD fail
