stratumorien 8 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Live TV starts up as a still frame and remains 'Frozen' upon playback for many minutes. In some instances it will eventually start playback if considerable time is given (many minutes). This has been an issue for many days now. It is now transcoding where previously it always direct played Logs are attached... I have also uploaded logs from the Shield client (android TV) at 9:40am Easter US time under the username 'TV' Thanks and hope your holidays were awesome!

ebr 14937 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 When in this "Frozen" state, does it start playing if you try to seek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratumorien 8 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 For a few days now live TV is frozen (still frame) with no audio upon playback on my nVidia Shield. Previously it would direct play from my HD HomeRun but now is transcoding? I posted in the Synology section and also here as I am unsure if it is a client or server issue. Logs were uploaded from client at 9:40 (6 min ago) under the local emby account 'TV' Thanks for you help and happy holidays Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14937 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It is transcoding because the attempt to direct stream it failed. I'm interested in the answer to my question in your other post though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratumorien 8 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 @ebr Yes... if I start playback it appears that the seek bar goes to the far right as if it is done playing immediately. If i hit rewind (left arrow on d-pad) it begins playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratumorien 8 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 I do not use the beta but can sign up for it. I generally avoid as my family prefers the stability of the release versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratumorien 8 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I run Emby server on my Synology NAS and updates are sometimes significantly delayed compared to windows.

Jennice 19 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi all, I am considering a shield or Fire TV as player, leaving the transcoding to my Win10 pc. Are the issues discussed here related to server or client side? My server seems to run fine, so it it's a Synology server issue, I am not affected.

stratumorien 8 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Apart from this recent issue that was resolved through a config/option change, my shield has been and great client for Emby. I have tried a fire TV stick and wasn't too happy with it's performance. Playback on other clients did not have this issue (win10 Emby theatre or chrome browser) so maybe restricted to Android TV app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
