maegibbons 1267 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi, thanks for letting me know, Been out, just logged in to see if there was news. I'll tap my fingers till Monday Thanks again. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14917 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Okay was a bit more complex than I hoped but I think I got it working . Try 1.3.26. The one thing that I know won't work is resuming them. This is something I think needs to be addressed at the server level. The app is reporting the position but I think the standard logic on the server side is not saving the resume position due to the fact that there is no duration (or something along those lines). If we can catch that at the server level then it will work for all apps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 @@ebr Oh wow. Sounds so great. I will Give it a go. Can we have a switch in Settings to default to playing channels with seek enabled please? I appeciate that some will want to direct play whenever. For me and i bet a lot of others, the ability to pause and seek, especially rewind when you miss a bit, is more important than cpu cycles on the server. I would prefer to always transcode espcially since the streamcopy seems to add only a small ffmpeg load on server and be ready to always be able to rewind instead of having to remembr to enable it. Many thanks again for your hard work, it is really appreciated. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14917 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Can we have a switch in Settings to default to playing channels with seek enabled please? Doesn't disabling the "Direct Stream Live TV" option already do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 You tell me. Does it? I will try it!! EDIT a couple mins later - YES IT DOES!!! I have just tested 1.2.36 on my MI ATV and its awesome to be able to seek on "Active Recordings"!!! Yey! Dont know why but the betas for Fire TV seem to take a couple of days to come through here in the UK - ive just got to be patent for that! Many, many thanks once again KR's Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 You just need to catch up with Luke now and get that nice little "record" button in the OSD so you can easily start to record the program you are watching. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1258 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Just as a question: How is seeking within inprogress recordings supposed to work? Pause, rewind and forward to the position where you've paused the stream. But should one be able to seek forward to the "live" position of a recording when starting playback after an half hour?

maegibbons 1267 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yes - thats how it is meant to work. Is it not working like that for you? In limited testing so far it is for me! Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1258 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 But should one be able to seek forward to the "live" position of a recording when starting playback after an half hour?I don't mean seeking after unpause but starting a new playback session! Is it not working like that for you?I'm using an external tv service that delivers a http stream, so it's not possible to seek forward right at playback start. But if you say it is working with Emby's internal tv function, then i have to think about how to change my plugin code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 If you start an "Active Recording" then it starts at the beginning. With the latest changes you can now fast forward or "seek" right up to the live recording position. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14917 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 With in-progress recordings made internally, yes, you can seek to real time. Below, you can see current playback progress and the real time (current recording) position. You can seek all the way up to that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 It really is very cool! And i am talking about the seeking in emby NOT the "Freeze Warning" in @@ebr 's piccy! Krs Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below, you can see current playback progress and the real time (current recording) position. You can seek all the way up to that point. You can give some technical details how Emby is doing this internaly? It just saves the recording as a file and then another ffmpeg process reads from this file or what is happening in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37086 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Correct, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1258 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Correct, yes. Mmh, but some puzzle is missing here. No matter how i deliver the recording file path to Emby, either by public Task<IEnumerable<RecordingInfo>> GetRecordingsAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken) or by public Task<MediaSourceInfo> GetRecordingStream(string recordingId, string streamId, CancellationToken cancellationToken) with or without property "IsInfinite", the playback always stops after the timeframe that matches the recording lenght at playback start. (Because of this, i've created this pull request: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/pull/2443) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37086 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well you can't specify a file path because ffmpeg will see EOF based on current file length. The server currently does not do anything to help plugins work around this because the plugins all have their own embedded web servers. So what you'll want to do for in progress recordings is return an http url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
