Croll12 3 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 I can send logs later tonight when I get home. If I set a max bitrate then Currently it spins for a while and then the screen pops up ‘is there play back issues’. I hit yes and then it transcodes the file and finally plays. If I set max biteate to auto, it direct plays still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14947 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Okay, so why do you think it is direct playing...? Player: Exoplayer Play method: Transcode Stream type: HLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croll12 3 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 If I set the max nitrate to auto, the file plays instantly and is direct played. Displays such in server dashboard. If I leave the max bitrate at 3 Mbps (so live tv with force transcode) the wheel spins for 20 seconds and then prompts for video playback error. I select yes and it is transcoded. If it not possible to have it transcoded right away without waiting for the playback error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it may be trying to direct stream it (which is what it should do and will accomplish the goal you are after) but it is failing to start. Try this - When you get that dialog, try selecting "no" and waiting a bit longer. Does the item start playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croll12 3 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 It does not start playing. Circle continues to spin forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14947 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It does not start playing. Circle continues to spin forever. Can you do that and let it spin for 60 seconds and then back out and send the log from the app (instructions in the link above) and post the server and any ffmpeg logs that go with the session you sent the log from? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
