FordGT90Concept 61 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) In short: -start watching Live TV -when the program changes, it usually pops up the thing on the bottom saying it changed --when it errors, it keeps popping up and hiding over and over for 30-60 seconds until it stays up for a few seconds, then stops doing it until the next program comes on It doesn't do it every time. I've not found a trend that definitely causes it to happen. The circumstances are always the same as lined out above. It strikes me as a multithreading/timer issue.

JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I get the same thing on my Nexus Player with Emby App, finally switched to Kodi as a client and haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordGT90Concept 61 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Noticed three behaviors with this: 1) It flickered for over two minutes. 2) It always does it when the program changes. 3) When it flashes, it is showing the previous program information. It stops flashing when it changes to the current program information. Is there a way to disable the pop up on program change entirely? If not, there really should be. I'd probably just disable it because it's not very useful around here. Edited April 14, 2017 by FordGT90Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 When this happens, do you know which player is in use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordGT90Concept 61 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 The default one on SHIELD, I've never changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 What are the values you have set under the settings in the app for Live TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordGT90Concept 61 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Direct stream = not checked Use VLC if available = checked use external player = not checked It may be trick playing when it does it, not sure. If you can't replicate it, then that's probably why. Makes sense if I were two minutes behind live, then it fixes itself when you're caught up. Edit: I have confirmed the theory above is correct: if you're behind live, it flickers until it is caught up to the actual transition. In the example above, I was most likely two minutes behind live so it flickered for two minutes. If you are not behind at all, it doesn't flicker at all. The issue is definitely tied to trick playing. Edited April 15, 2017 by FordGT90Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If you turn off the option to use VLC for live TV does it stop? I don't believe I even have it enabled, but I won't be able to verify until next weeked. I'm about 1200 miles from home until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
