Spinning Circle

[Marc_G 92]

Hi folks,

 

Sometimes, in Emby Theater (multiple installations on different hardware), I've seen what I call the Spinning Circle of Death. It persists through whatever screen you happen to be in, follows you as you navigate, and prevents you from starting playback.

 

I went to the settings screen, and it followed me on my navigation there.  Here it is, clipped from the screen where you can pick assorted actions:

 

 

Also here's a log: (attached)

 

The fix is to exit and restart ET.

 

Curious to know what causes it and how to get out of this mode without having to end the process.

 

Thanks!

Haven't seen it but will keep an eye out, thanks.

The only time I've seen this is when I've clicked on something, and for whatever reason there's been an issue with that function, and it keeps trying to do it. For example, I'm trying to play a file that it's having trouble accessing / streaming, it keeps trying for a while.

 

On a slightly related note, periodically the circle will appear momentarily while I'm watching live tv.

I get this all the time now with certain tv channels not playing after resuming from low power state (s3) only started happening after a recent auto update (electron in release notes). I basically give up on raising bug notices for things that were previously working in production system and get auto broken with no permanent roll back option available so now looking into testing alternate platform options

Hi @@PrincessClevage there is probably a simple explanation for it so if you can please file a bug notice we'll do our best to help you. Thanks !

I've noticed this too.  I haven't timed it, but it seems to be on a fixed period... so I've kinda wondered if it's doing something on a schedule like refreshing the guide in the background (since it is only during LiveTV playback)

I was thinking the same thing.
