Savage13 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hello folks, I just bought an Nvidia Shield TV yesterday. Your work on it has been amazing! I can pass through DTS-HD and TrueHD and the auto refresh rate works like a dream. Seriously, big kudos guys! I did run across something rather odd while playing with it, however. On movies with TrueHD sound, if I skip ahead or start playback from a chapter as opposed to the beginning of the movie, the video plays at about 1.5-2x normal speed while the auto plays normally causing a very jarring experience. This does not happen with DTS-HD movies, just the TrueHD. For now I'm passing playback through to SPMC which is working just fine when skipping (though it does not report back to Emby the spot where it should resume next time if I play again....any work around for that in the meantime?) If I can get this sorted out (even if it's just a workaround for resuming movies with SPMC as an external player) this little box will literally become my perfect HTPC solution. Thanks in advance!

ebr 14925 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Does this only happen with direct chapter playback, or any resuming? If you are getting TrueHD, I assume the item is direct streaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are getting TrueHD, I assume the item is direct streaming? Yup, same issue here. Play back the movie from the beginning and it's fine. Skip ahead to any chapter, and it has the issue. If I start fresh from a specific chapter it does it too. Direct Play 3.1.269.0 beta 1.3.19g Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Still does it on 3.1.5 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage13 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Does this only happen with direct chapter playback, or any resuming? If you are getting TrueHD, I assume the item is direct streaming? It does it either on a direct chapter playback OR resume. Direct streaming....TrueHD audio still plays (at normal speed) but the video is sped up and jumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Unfortunately, sounds like an issue in Exo. Hopefully, a future update will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately, sounds like an issue in Exo. Hopefully, a future update will fix it. Is this based on some other evidence of other products that use Exo, where the same thing happens? Or are you just drawing this conclusion based on that you cannot find anything?

MSattler 387 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 FWIW, the way it plays back is very much the same way stuff plays back when the refresh option is on. Except it's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just drawing this conclusion based on that you cannot find anything? It isn't a conclusion but a guess at this point and it is based on the fact that we are not in control of the syncing of the audio and video streams. When direct playing the item, that is handled entirely by the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWebsmith 598 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 ebr - would this be another reason to have some sort of advance setting for force playback to vlc then? could you code a beta so that we can test that as a theory at least? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still like to see an option where we choose which player to use, exoplayer or VLC, so that playback starts with that player rather than having to switch as playback starts.

MSattler 387 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Interesting, Plex does not give me any issues skipping ahead. Guess I'll just start watching Plex again. Love the back and forth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because LibVLC cannot bitstream TrueHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
