pünktchen 1251 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 What does that mean?That neither MediaPortal nor the streaming software is moving or renaming recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2492 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 yeah, i've found the problem with active recordings. the change to play all .ts files trans /i has affected active recordings as well as recorded tv (which was the intention). its since this change was made that i'm consistently seeing active recordings end early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2492 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) But why is your experience different than maegibbons? he's using emby i'm using mediaportal. his experience is only relevant in the context of the third bullet point above.

Spaceboy 2492 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 i've just had playback of live tv through mediaportal pause as a second unrelated mediaportal recording finished. exactly the same time with the post padding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed bit I do not see the problem with IPTV but you do - which is strange. This may point to an underlying critical difference in our setups and in yours it affects ALL active recordings. Can you validate once again that it definately happens with IPTV recorded native in emby direct to .ts, no transcode. krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I'm currently watching league of their own as an active recording and its due to finish in 10mins yep that went fine. i'd need to test over a longer period to confirm though but also like you said elsewhere, the quality of active recordings isn't great Edited July 31, 2017 by Spaceboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So in summary you feel this issue only comes in to play when you are using Media Portal? Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krs Mark thats what I said in the OP [emoji3]I did reference historic identical problems with iptv but it's transpired that these are unrelated. I don't have any current evidence of the problem with iptv. I'll give it more of a test though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You could also re-evaluate with the Android Mobile app, so we know if the problem is app specific or server/backend related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the active recordings tab or your recordings library? When you look at the details page of an active recording, do you see any mediainfo? I ask because from your logs, it seems that you've set the MediaPortal recording folder as a path in Emby's live tv settings. Normally this setting is just for Emby's core live tv and maybe it has some unexpected side effects in conjunction with an external service.

Spaceboy 2492 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 @punktchen, removing the folder from the library made no difference, this was a hangover from when i was using iptv and just had MP running in the background no metadata when i view an active recording. it doesnt matter whether i start an active recording from the active recording row or the recordings row, the result is the same in the web client. i started a recording at 2248, its now 2302. i start the active recording from the recordings library because active recordings seem to have disappeared off the main live tv page recently. the video starts from 2248 but the timeline shows the current time: the end time is correct so technically the timer is right as i'm only going to get to see up to 2318 when it craps out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Now i understand! And here's the problem @@Luke: I serve an active recording always as infinite http stream with the start position at the beginning of the recording (you know, we can't seek within the currently playing http stream), but the Emby player sets the playback position at the false timestamp!

Luke 36997 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I don't understand what you mean exactly? we don't really set playback position at all. we just start playing from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally this setting is just for Emby's core live tv and maybe it has some unexpected side effects in conjunction with an external service. i've also found out why i add the MP recorded tv folder to Emby's recorded tv library. Its because its the only way to get MP recordings to show up nicely in Emby searches. without this they just show up as "Videos". As there didnt seem to any unwanted side effects to including the MP folder within Emby's recorded tv library i shall probably put this back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
