You will still have these same issues regardless if you're a premiere member or not. That being said though, it may also depend on your hardware.

mwongjay 64 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Seems like at the time we get playback info on the stream, we don't know that it is interlaced. Earlier in this topic I mentioned that prior to v3.2 Emby was deinterlacing without issue. I thought about downloading each release in v3.2 to see what commit caused Emby to stop deinterlacing, but have not had time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwongjay 64 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Emby Server: v3.2.26.2 beta Any update on when you guys will have a chance to fix the deinterlacing issue? On the latest beta and live tv is still not being deinterlaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwongjay 64 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I've run some tests. ATV watching HGTV (direct stream), stream is interlaced, yadif is not present in the transcoding log. Chrome browser watching HGTV (direct stream), stream is deinterlaced, yadif is not present in the transcoding log. iOS v1.4.1 (6), watching HGTV (direct stream), stream is deinterlaced, yadif is not present in the transcoding log.

ebr 14904 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 With what version of the app did you run those tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwongjay 64 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) With what version of the app did you run those tests? 1.4.31a is the current version, not sure if it was updated in the past 48 hours. It would appear that the stream is being deinterlaced with 1.4.31a. I'll report back if I notice this being an issue again.

FordGT90Concept 61 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 I haven't noticed any problems with deinterlacing lately but I have noticed some problems: 1) Audio/video sync problems in Live TV. I think video is ahead of audio. My guess is it is several seconds off. I think it gets worse with time. 2) When there is an active recording going and you're trying to watch it as it is recording. Jump forward is utterly broken. I hit jump forward a bunch of times, the bar shows it is going to progress but when the video resumes, the bar jumps back to pretty much where you started. I can see that the recording is several minutes beyond where I tried to jump to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I got home from work and was watching stuff it seemed to have been resolved. I also experience the 2nd issue with jump forward.

Luke 37022 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yea in those logs earlier ffmpeg was just not detecting your stream as interlaced and that's why we didn't add ffprobe. I suppose worst case scenario we can add an option to assume it is always interlaced although I'd prefer not to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To jump forward you have to hit button... wait.... hit button ... wait.... etc. If you hit FF button multiple times. Whilst the time index goes up when you stop it only does one 30 sec skip.

However, in situations like mine where a majority of streams are interlaced it would be nice to be able to override auto-detection. It is frustrating watching interlaced video. A solution might be adding a toggle for a specific channel in Live Tv > Guide Providers > Schedules Direct > Map Channels > "Force FFProbe" or "Force Deinterlace" and change Map Channels to Configure Channels. The benefit of placing within this area is only users with tuners would actually see it, each channel is already listed so adding a toggle shouldn't be too much effort, and it can be applied only when necessary.

I think it gets worse with time. Pausing live TV for a bit seems to fix the sync problem for a while. The longer it plays (live or trickplayed) the worse it seems to get. Only affects Live TV.

FordGT90Concept 61 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm still seeing the sync issues but not interlaced. Likely because my source is HDHomeRun EXTENDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordGT90Concept 61 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Still an issue...actually worse. 4.1 KTIV News at 5 (5:00 to 5:30 local time), it couldn't go more than a few minutes without interruptions. HDHomeRun app worked without any interruptions. logs.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDHomeRun app worked without any interruptions. The transcoding speed is falling below 1.0x - thus the fits and starts. The question is, why? Is it due to actual slow transcoding (I don't think so since this should be a light transcode) or some other bottleneck somewhere. If you pause for a bit and then watch it out of the buffer, does it play smoothly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordGT90Concept 61 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Add some more information to the above... So apparently something happened after the performance issues because the next day, Emby Server wasn't responding at all to Live TV requests and required manually restarting it. Whatever caused the performance issues was likely associated with whatever caused the unresponsiveness later. It still hasn't occured and this is several builds later so...maybe fixed? Anyway, just wanted to add that note for posterity in case it happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
