Aspect ratio flicking when starting stream

[tre4b 3]

Having made some alterations I now have emby workingish on live TV using HDHomerun.  quite a few things still to sort out but one of the currently most disturbing is an aspect ratio flick that occurs when the channel is tuned.

 

The screen keeps flicking between still images that gradualy change but remain still.  Each image repeatedly changes from 4:3 to 16:9 and back every second or two in a very distracting way.  After a minute or so the flicking settles down and the program starts to run normally.

 

Any ideas how I can stop this?

Does anyone else even get this?  I notice there have been 18 views so wondered if these were other people looking for a solution to this.

Hi there,

 

So I took a video of the issue and copied the logs for that day.  They are all in here  :  http://1drv.ms/1TCPXuY

Yes, that is a problem in VLC with some SD channels.  See here for a possible workaround.

Okay ta.  I thought that might be the case.  Good that you have seen it and we will wait for VLC to get itself fixed.

 

Work around did not seem to work but I will keep trying.
