ET live TV direct play black screen

On remote connected client (same lan but using wifi) I get a black screen when live tv tries to use direct play. I can see that Serverwmc has the stream open and emby dashboard show the client actively watching the channel but the remote clients just get a black screen and freeze up. I then have to kill ET on the clients then goto the emby server and manually kill the Serverwmc channel or it will continue to store the stream until no disk space is left. I have observed that movie using direct play work fine on the same remote clients.

Does live TV direct play on ET work ok for anyone else?

Hi, sorry to hear this. How do you know that it's direct playing?

This I viewed from emby dashboard which shows the client connection and "direct play". I also observed when tv channels were "transcode" they played fine on the remote ET clients Edited by PrincessClevage

Direct play to your Live TV tuner from a remote location would never work - unless you had all the proper network configuration to make the tuner available externally.  So, I guess the app has to somehow not allow that when on a remote connection.

I intermittently get this same issue.... Not a coder but my guess is Emby is trying to direct play to the Xbone which is not capable of direct play.

The two remote clients that I tested this direct play for live TV in ET are xbox one and win 10 surface pro, both produced the same results (black screen when direct play is observed in emby server dashboard).

My tv tuner card is a hapauge PCI 2200 , not a network TV tuner. Does emby remux the stream and then make that remux available to remote clients that use direct play?

Is there an ffmpeg log generated during this time?

I don't think so, the ffmpeg.exe does not even run while this is occurring. Where might I look for the log?

Is this only happening in desktop ET? If so, it could be the old problem, resurfacing. I've had a blank screen again, a few times. I'll have to check if the value in the directshow has been changed. It was working at 1400.

If you restart live TV a few times, does it eventually play?

No it is quite reproducible as long as the stream stays in the same format (seems to change from show to show e.g showing as direct play or transcoded) Edited by PrincessClevage

Seems that ET is remuxing the live tv when direct play (emby logs attached):

Does it happen in both versions of the UWP app?

Do you mean Ember for emby and ET? These are the only two I can see on xbox live store. I find it very difficult to use Ember for Emby on xbox one

No, I was referring to 7illusions app, but I'm not sure it's available for XBOX. You could try it on your Surface. I was just trying to rule out a few possibilities.

Unrelated but you've also added your temporary recordings folder as an emby library and you have the realtime monitor enabled, so the server is going a little crazy responding to file changes over and over

Is 7illusions app in the windows store or do I DL if from some where else? All I can find is "ember for emby" in the windows store and when I play the same show in ember for emby it transcodes and plays correctly, the same show in ET plays direct and displays a black screen both on the win 10 surface.

Ah, I hadn't realized he'd renamed it. In the store, it just says Emby. Ok, so we know your media foundation is fine. I'm gonna have to knock this back in Luke's court. Other than re-installing it, I'm drawing a blank.
