Spaceboy 2494 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Using MediaPortal as the back end. Live tv plays in trans/ i and i can pause and fast forward back to the live point, everything is working fine. However starting an active recording starts playback in direct/v mode. i can see from the timeline that the app does not know where the live tv point is. i have no transit controls, i cannot pause or skip forwards to the live tv point. direct play live tv and use vlc for live tv are both unchecked in the Android tv app settings. log's pm'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There is a menu option on the OSD to switch to seek mode. Does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2494 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 No, enable seek is not available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It looks like the app just thinks it is a video file as opposed to an active recording. Since Emby isn't managing the recording itself, this may be a limitation of an external service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14930 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 No, active recordings are served as http stream. So, does that mean that Emby knows it is an active recording? It appears we do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37115 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It sounds like we might be possibly direct playing to the media portal server rather than running it through emby server so that we can segment it with HLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i see here in the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i see here in the web app. agreed, but the end time doesnt increase while its paused, only after you restart. and you can't ever catch up to the live tv point, only the point where playback would have reached had you not paused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
