gallatig 0 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Having a problem viewing live TV on a Roku and FireTV The video takes a very long time to start on the Roku.It takes a while, but not as long on the FireTV. When it does start it stops almost immediately, then starts again. This continues.At times its pixelated and at times there is no sound. Other times I've tried, it does the same thing, but the loading will come up. I have both a HDHomeRun Extend and HDHomeRun Connect Roku and FireTV logs were upload my user or HTPC linked to my account, other logs attached. Emby version 3.2.13.5 beta In case anyone stumbles across this, I did resolve this issue. The signal level of the stations would dip just low enough (~50%) to cause the HDHomeRun to stop the stream. I don't know if there is a troubleshooting thread or FAQ, but if there is, I hope this is in there. Thanks! server-63629010348.txt ffmpeg-directstream-d04d6c10-7f1d-4fc3-a331-45f0763dabd7.txt ffmpeg-directstream-c5cb2817-bfbf-4c37-959a-3029b1b188c8.txt ffmpeg-transcode-1bed1453-0a59-4da2-856e-f5575fda0f90.txt ffmpeg-transcode-9a0a63ac-bdd5-46e6-9038-b658a334483b.txt Edited April 29, 2017 by gallatig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37180 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 hi @@gallatig, is this still an issue with the latest Emby Server beta? That is 3.2.13.10. Also, which version of the Roku app? Are you using the new Roku beta app? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallatig 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi @@Luke This particular issue really seemed to be related to the OTA signal strength my HDHomeRuns were receiving. Once I reoriented the antenna, signal strength is up and these issue have gone away. Apparent the HDHomeRuns just stop transmitting if the signal drops below a certain level. As far as the Roku goes, I am running the Beta (not sure of the version) and the server is now up to 3.2.13.10 beta. In general the Roku Ultra I have is much slower than the older FireTV. (One of the original non-4K versions.) I'm thinking of just getting another FireTV and moving the Roku to a less used spot or getting rid of it entirely. Thanks!

Yeah, I've given up on Roku, I think the FireTV is the way to go. I've really had no issues with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I agree. I flirted with Roku and even the new beta but my "go to" client is the Fire TV with the MI Xioma ATV box a close 2nd. Krs Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
