mike707070 0 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks for the workaround !!!! My household only streams to rokus, so this worked for me. I was in the process of "retraining" the wife and kids on plex, so I'm happy to be able stick with emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hengist 0 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 After days of struggling with this (packet analysis, network restructuring, the works), I finally ran across @BigBri41's fix. Works like a charm! Let's hope Roku gets this fixed sooner rather than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 For those of you still having issues without his fix, assuming you're on the latest server release, can you give me examples of content where it is still happening? e.g. media info from the web client. thanks.

whitman27 1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I am finding using the fix in this thread it works but I am seeing an issue with the audio on a lot of movies and shows. It has this broken up sound at times. I was a watching one show that had an audience and I figured it was just that one show but the more stuff I watch I am noticing it. Hope roku fixes this ASAP, I really don't want to switch to Plex .

Luke 37057 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 i am going to put the query string change into the next server patch release, which as you guys have probably noticed we've been doing on a weekly basis. that was the change i mentioned earlier that if roku ever fixes the problem, the change will have to be reverted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricE 2 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Can you discuss the crash a little bit? Let me elaborate. I haven't read the whole thread and once I do I may be able to prove my crash is the same as everyone elses here. I posted the logs in case it helps but the more I read of this thread the more I think my problem is exactly the same. Again, I need to consume more to know for sure. Basically, the crash happens right on start of playback on files that used to work in the past. It does seem to be related to the file type though because I can sometime convert the file format to something else and get it to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QwEmby 2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I was still having the problem with 3.0.5781.4. I updated to the latest beta/dev releases and still the same. I completelly uninstalled the server (removed cache files, etc.) just to make sure that there wasn't something looming from before and reinstalled with the same results. So... I downloaded the code branch and found the function that outputs the manifest file to the device (GetVariantPlaylistInternal(StreamRequest request, bool isOutputVideo, string name) in DynamicHlsService.cs inside of the MediaBrowser.Api project under the Playback/Hls directory) and modified it to not include the query strings which apparently is what is causing the rokus to crash (manifest file is getting too big or something?). I've tested it with several movies that weren't working before and it isn't crashing the roku anymore. Here's what I did: 1. I installed server version 3.0.5781.4 and set it all up. 2. In the advanced system preferences I disabled automatic updating of the server. 3. Find where the server is installed. (My server installation was in this directory C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\System) 4. Exit out of the server program 5. In your server installation directory, rename MediaBrowser.Api.dll to MediaBrowser.Api.dll.old and copy the MediaBrowser.Api.dll that is in the attached zip file to the directory. 6. Start the server and cross your fingers. The dll was compiled with version 3.0.5781.4 so i don't know if it will work with other release versions of the product. I hope this helps some folks out there. This is by no means a fix, just a bandaid at best (and it probably breaks something else). Once Roku gets thier fix out, re-enabling automatic updates should overwrite this file when a new version of the server comes out and everything will be as it should be (codewise). If this doesn't work for you, you can just delete the file you copied over and rename the .old file back to its original name to put things back the way they were. EDIT: just realized that while any of the emby proprietary clients are smart enough to include the proper query strings even if they aren't sent from the server, playing through a non emby client isn't and i broke that part. Added a condition that looks for ROKU in the user agent string and only performs this manipulation if it is a roku but leaves everything as it was if it isn't a roku. File updated. This worked for me, too. Thanks a million, @@BigBri41. I can finally watch all my epics again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBri41 8 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @@Luke Looks like they released an update for the rokus today. I downgraded from the beta server to the stable one 3.0.5781.5 (where the work around wasn't deployed) and it looks like they resolved it from their side. You can probably remove that query string condition now after you test rokus fix out. Would you like me to remove that file I uploaded to that post in this thread so we don't risk folks messing their installations up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes please, and thanks. Bigger question is does the .6 beta still function on the roku update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBri41 8 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @@Luke Seems to work well for me on the beta also. Just a note; I thought that I noticed some sound anomalies after the query string manipulation but didn’t really care since the movies would play. I’m not sure if this was some kind of mental placebo thing or whether it was real . If the roku does have to retrieve some sound settings based on the query string in the manifest file though, it might be worth looking into removing the bandaid for the next stable release. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
